    Those of us who lived through Luna’s predicament are ecstatic that this girl is now free. When we found out that she had left on her own, everyone here was very happy for her.

      But, really, the story should not be about you or "those of us who lived through" anything, but about the whales themselves.

      Luna was a victim of Indian politics. Canadian scientists wanted to reunite Luna with a whale group, pointing out the likelihood of Luna being killed or injured by marine traffic but the Indian's screamed something to the effect that Luna was the reincarnation of old Uncle George, got the government to ignore logic, cave and appoint the tribe as guardians. So Luna subsequently collided with a boat and died. One of those sappy Canadian Indian tragedies.

      Lucky those of you who contributed to Luna's death by claiming she was your frick'n reincarnated chief were not around to stop "Brave Little Hunter" or whatever the name from making her natural escape.

      Sure you are. You’re playing the “I’m just asking questions” game that journalists play. When in fact all they (and you) are doing isn’t asking a question in good faith at all, but just randomly throwing grenades without any care what the answer is. You should be a journalist.

    *Assumed* to be trapped. No one asked her. She swam away when she was ready w/o any influence of Indigenous voodoo whatsoever. The story is not about the tribe and their mystical union with the whale (which did absolutely nothing), but about the survival of the whale. The event was NOT about "deeper meanings" or the superstitious tribal hokum.
