Orca (killer whale) and dog - READ THE DETAILS!

luna the killer whale socializes with dog. luna/L98 was a male southern resident (fish eating) orca who died march 10 2006 when he was hit by a large tug boat in nookta sound. luna lived a solitary life when he found himself alone hundreds of miles away from his feeding grounds. http://lunastewardship.blogspot.com for more information about luna.

ALSO FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD, LUNA RECEIVED TONS OF HUMAN ATTENTION AND AFFECTION. BOAT INTERVENTION DID NOT CUT THAT OFF. THERE WAS NOTHING ANYONE COULD HAVE DONE TO HAVE CUT THE INTERACTIONS OFF. HE WAS HABITUATED LONG BEFORE GOVERNMENT, STEWARDSHIP OR MEDIA SHOWED UP. WE WERE THE EARLIEST GROUP THERE TRYING TO MEDIATE THAT BUT BY THE TIME WE ARRIVED, IT WAS ALREADY TOO LATE. SEE THE BLOG FOR MORE INFORMATION.

It is not appropriate with some negative comments here, I think, the story of Luna is one of the most amazing friendship humanity has had with another species. Savvy people realize that we share the earth together and need to take care of the beauty we have before it's gone. Rest in peace .Tsuux-iit (Luna) <3

This is amazing. it proves you dont need a loud, filthy amusment park to be able to share a bond with a beautiful creature like these.

When I heard Luna got drunken by some idiots after they gave him beers then I was furious.

Orcas are amazing animals :)

Hard to believe that Luna (L-98) was a member of L-2 subpod

@TheWhaleMovie Where Can I see your movie?! I've looked everywhere! Literally. I don't see anything on your website suggesting where to see the documentary. Please be more specific, Thanks! I would really love to see it.

@findingmiddlegrey Luna was one of the southern resident salmon eating orcas, L pod. The transients that come through here, San Juan Island, Washington, will eat seals and other mammals. Luna was just a friendly orca.

[legitleyepic]

Luna is a resident orca! his original pod, l pod, is a fish only eating (resident) pod! they belong with J and K pod. the barking of the dog sounds similar to that of a seal underwater, but luna, being a resident orca, has no nterest at all in eating the dog.

I wonder what would happend if the dog would fall in ? 0,o I would be SHIT SCARED if my dog did that and take him away from there =S

@legitleyepic I hate amusement parks and zoos .... they totally wrong and should not be allowed at all ... seeing monkeys in the UK zoos for instance is a very sad experience that look so unhappy and misplaced ...
