Luna Injured, Hasn't Been Seen Since

Wednesday, August 27, 2003
GOLD RIVER, BC -- Luna, the orphaned orca living alone in the waters off Gold River, was cut by a boat's propeller blade Monday, Aug 25.

The deep gash is above Luna's eye. It is approximately 15 to 20 centimetres long and about three centimetres deep - deep enough to reveal blubber.

The impact of the collision disabled the boat and it had to be towed.

No one has seen Luna since the incident.

Whale experts have warned from the beginning that the orca's love of humans and boats could put him in danger.
