Luna Dies In Red Sea
posted on March 12, 2006

Luna Dies in Red Sea of Political Correctness and Government Inaction.

A lot of people made money off of poor Luna and it did not help him or his endangered family. In spite of Lifeforce pleas to immediately return Luna to his family those with diverse vested interests have led to the death of Luna today.

From government to First Nations to NGOs the hope to do the right thing by reuniting Luna with his family L pod was dimmed by cultural differences and those seeking to profit.

"The tugboat collision may have finally killed him but it has been political correctness and government inaction that has created this tragedy", stated Peter Hamilton, Lifeforce Founder, "The threat to Luna was evident. Luna has recently been hit and wounded by another boat. Those who wanted him to stay in Nootka Sound have killed him."

Another lone orca, Springer, was successfully returned to her family Northern Community. Plans and funding was available to do the same for Luna.
