A Killer Whale Called Luna

- This is the emotional story of one young killer whale's quest for companionship after he was separated from his family. Luna was just two years old when, alone and confused, he found himself on the rugged, wild coast of Vancouver Island. Following his tumultuous life, the film records the human friendships he developed and the trouble this led him into. From death threats, to numerous capture attempts by the government, the film-makers watched as people tried to determine his fate. Luna shows us how quickly our lives can once again cross with the natural world.
Director: Suzanne Chisholm et Michael Parfit - Zábava
If you want the villian in this tragic story, look no further than Marilyn Joyce. Who amazingly appears in this documentary. She esssntially killed Luna with the thoughtless application of her theory about the 'wall of separation.' She was too narrow minded to grasp that in certain exceptional instances, that philosophy needed to be set aside. If the plan forwarded by the journalist couple had been approved Luna might still be alive.
At one age the great philosophical question was how many angels could dance on the head of a pin. We know as little about some things but must act on what we think or want it to be. This story was so sad yet wonderful.
@@timg5463 Or as Lincoln said: "As our case is new, so we must think a new."
This is a beautiful film. It broke my heart. I couldn't sleep after watching. So many human mistakes here....😢😢😢😢
Very true. But you are casting the net blame to widely. The humans which offered Luna friendship did not make a mistake. The journalist couple and native resource officer who put forward a very sensible plan to look after Luna did not make a mistake. It was a handful of idiots in the Canadian government who all but sealed Luna's fate.
The idiot officials in the Canadian Department of Fisheries should be charged with animal cruelty.
❤❤ RIP LUNA ❤❤ this story breaks my heart!!! We hafta do better period.
A lot of people tried to do their best, especially the journalist couple and the local tribe. But idiots like Marilyn Joyce from Canadian Fisheries all but assured Luna's demise.
I USED TO PARTY WITH LUNA BACK IN THE DAY. WE CHILLED TOGETHER OFTEN. I STILL MISS HIM TO THIS DAY. 😪 😪 😪
Same
“ The interconnectedness of all life” is what we must remember at all times. Wonderful documentary!
We don't deserve friends like Luna. He tried his best to teach us, but we just refuse to learn. Rest in Peace friend
You don’t say hooman
Tried to teach us? You think that Killer Whale was some kind of shaman from Shangri-La?
@@charlesmartin1121 Perhaps you misunderstood me or maybe you just a troll and I shouldn't waste my time on you, but, to answer your question, no, I don't believe the whale is some kind of shaman. I'm a PhD student and don't believe in that kind of thing, what I do believe is that you can learn a lot from this world and everything/everyone that surround us (like whales or shamans), a lot more than I ever learned from reading books, publishing papers or watching documentaries. 😘
@@Murderoreo1 It's ok if don't agree, but I DO say. Have a nice day, fellow hooman 😊
@@fernandab41 I am not a troll. And I was employed at a Natural History Museum for 25 years until I retired. Your original statement was broadly accusitive of humanity for failing to heed the teachings of a lost adolescent male Resident Orca. First a lot of humans responded to Luna with kindness and attention, while others tried to do their best to safeguard him. Second your unproven assertion that Luna was on some kind of mission to enlighten humanity is total speculation. Most likely this was a young animal, who had become separated from it's pod, and just as the film implies sought out attention from humans as a substitute for the sociality he would have experienced in his pod. As for wasting time, that is what I feel I have just done writing this paragraph, because odds on you are not going to accept anything I have to say.
The man that said it was was the happiest day ever when Luna died, there’s a special place in HELL for him!!!! RIP LUNA😢
Heartbreaking!! If only CZcams added subtitles!
Good Lord I just turned into a 50-year-old baby in the middle of this machine shop.
Luna tried to find a new pod/family in the locals living there. Poor Luna dying in such a horrific way.
OMG!!! This is heart breaking. Human monsters!
Such a sad beautiful sad story.
And don't forget unnecessary. Lord knows the US government has screwed-up plenty. But the Canadian government gets the blame for this clusterf*ck.
An animal living in their environment is a danger to himself oh boy they will say anything to do what they want
Marilyn Joyce, the marine mammal specialist of the Canadian Fisheries Department, should be doing time in prison for her incompetent handling of this whole episode.
Absolutely
When Luna nodded yes ❤
😢RIP😢Luna✝️🕊😭
@ BEST DOCUMENTARY THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS HEARTWARMING & HEARTBREAKING STORY of LUNA. ❤ I laughed 🤣 and I cried 😭, I got ANGRY 😡 and I CRIED 😭. This has to be one of the GREATEST STORIES I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME, THANK YOU!!
GREAT VIDEO!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. 3👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 FROM ME! 🫶🏻
Bedankt voor de prachtigen video geweldig om te zien hoe jullie het samen doen prachtig 💖
ORCA
I can't believe that DFO manager lady said "......we just didn't feel that Luna needed rescuing.......". Someone needs to take that lady 2000 miles from the nearest human, and tell her she has to walk out on her own, with no means of communication. We'll see how many animal friends she has by the time she gets back to civilization., that is, if they don't ignore her "for her own good"!
This story break my heart
I was in tears for the baby Orca ! Such a bitter sweet occasion !
Omg' rip "Luna"
Luna was lonely and was desperate for companionship ,, from what I hear about whales they are in pods with as many as 40 and they stay together for life.
Luna was alone, as for the people who tried everything to keep Luna safe ,bless your hearts, and for the heartless so called officials did not want anyone near Luna, some peoole wanted to even kill her for messing up there boat shame on you all , for not taking care of such a magnificent animal, I wouldn't doubt that maybe she was killed intentionally.. but even if it happened how they say it happened its still the same shit, you people who wanted everyone to ignore Luna , YOU ARE TO BLAME and should pay the consequences, for not doing the right thing , Would you leave a toddler alone? This story really broke my heart,
Luna should still be alive if humans would just have some compassion and and a heart for these gentle giants these unfortunate things can be prevented..
........................... 🐋 🐋 🐋 🐋 🐋
Just a reminder DO NOT PURCHASE tickets to Sea world or any where they have whales and dolphins etc.. DON'T HELP SUPPORT keeping Whales in SMALL pools ...
Thank u for sharing this beautiful story
R.I.P. Luna❤
Its so sad that there are some humans that are just idiots!! R.I.P LUNA you WERE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CREATURE..
Shame on those who wanted to harm luna. We don't deserve animals and they are so much better than us
All she wanted was some love.
Luna was a male Orca.
One thing that I see when I look at a case like Luna or Springer for that matter is how quickly these animals bond. Springer had very limited contact with people and even once she was reunited with her family and found a foster mom, she still chased boats for a little while until said foster mom put a stop to it. And Springer was practically isolated from the time we found her to the time she was released. For Luna, there really wasn't any other outcome than to bond with people.
Not only does that bond form very very quickly, it is also very very strong. And Luna couldn't exactly interact with people up close 24-7. Imagine the other killer whales that do! Good luck trying to break that bond. In fact, I'd say don't even try.! Just. Dont! It might (and I believe it would) cause even more damage.
Luna is amazing❤
Truly. And the humans that befriended and tried to look after him were pretty awesome as well. Unfortunately it only took a few government morons to screw-up everything.
I wish I will visit there❤❤❤
This was so sad. Luna was in his home and they were the intruders! As always, the government thinks they own and control everything, including wild life in its natural habitat. He tried to teach them peace and co-existence, they missed a big lesson! All he wanted was love, friendship and family but all they had was anger and intolerance. I think the lesson he was trying to give was pretty clear.
I don't believe for one second that his death was an accident. It seems they waited until no one was around to get rid of him.
I love your point! We were the intruders. As well as the government point. There were many who got the lesson. Some people just can't combine science with any heart or common sense.
Sweet friendly Luna.
This was a beautiful journey cut short by humanity. The warning by an evil man was verbally announced. And without the protection by the right people Luna became a star not a stat. Luna had more love in 5 years than most of us in a lifetime. Thank you to all in the Puget Sound in living with Luna or Tsux'iit as he was known. I side with those of the Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nations and would have paddled with them beating my drum. We had clearly broken down walls even though the fisheries didn’t approve and shame on their ignorance but mankind thinks it knows everything and creates rules. Luna broke the rules and the boundaries. This Orca was special in so many ways and lived by his rules. To any human wishing him ill will shows their lack of compassion and respect for this planet and it inhabits. I know those are big words for people with small minds but their distasteful opinions show off their ignorance and incompatibility. They likely beat their kids and wives. But for those who showed compassion and love their lives and hearts will be rewarded. That’s a lot of the lesson. Decide which side your own. The dark side or the side representing good. I choose like the children to represent good but will protect those I love. And all I need is my drum.
Beautifully stated! ❤❤❤
Wow❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊
R IP LUNA! We all love you.
We're from the government and here to help
Luna came from the same pod as Lolita (who died) at the Miami Seaquarium. And if anyone could have brought Luna home it would have been Ken Balcomb! Humans are the worst predators on land and sea!
😢❤😢
Wall keep saying wall muppits you are the wall love luna poor baby
Why didn’t they lead him or take him back out of the coves to his family instead of squabbling over him.
Yes, at least attemp that. It was worth the risk!
Wtf that blonde woman trying to stop all interactions with Luna..
RIP Luna omg they killed him he just want it friends
Anybody anticipated on building this wall towards that poor baby bet your ass you won't never do it again
That "whale" is not a whale. It's an orca and is a member of the dolphin family.
you DO know dolphins are part of the whole family😂🤡
@@iam51269 Whales and Dolphins are NOT the same.
'That is a beautiful film and all 'you could think of was correcting someone and being a grammar nazi.
@@johnattwood8467 It was a beautiful film, yes. I am a grammar nazi, yes. 😏
@@villanelle8888lol....this is funny. And not for nothing, I'm pretty sure correcting grammar wasn't thee only thing you could think of.... some people are silly.
And another thing is your destroy got for babies life but doing much y'all did look what happened to that baby put tall is a y'all
That reads terribly, and makes ZERO sense.
Наша жизнь.
Она должна быть такая везде.
Без войн, ненависти, жадности, высокомерия.
💯 🔥 🏞
But I’m scared one these human being will kill Luna sooner or later 😂❤
my most favorite type of animal
Special against great white sharks
Schöne Tiere aber ich bin trotzdem froh dass es die in der Ostsee nicht gibt. Dankeschön für die Aufnahmen ohne die wir niemals die Tiere erleben könnten.
zum Glück sind sie nicht bei Leuten anzutreffen, die sind wertschätzen.
Sebenarnya kita ini hanya satu
Coba kita rasakan di antara kita.dari.kehidupan.dari rasa
Dari air.emang air ada dua
Ya dia.tetap aja air itu satu
Dan kehidupan itu satu
Dan rasa itu satu.kamu dan aku samudera.seisinya adalah
Satu.aku;?!
Классный фильм! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Люди злые, везде войны! Как хочется уехать в такое место! От всех этих уродов....
