I was walking on the shore when I saw a starfish.
What did you do with it.
I picked it up and threw it.
You should not pick up wild animals. You don't know if you are harming it or not or if it will harm you.
It's normal to pick up starfish and throw it back in the ocean. I was wearing gloves and it got stuck on one of the gloves.
I must have misunderstood your intention. If you were helping the animal, then it is acceptable, but perhaps you could put it back into the ocean nicely rather than throwing it?
