Aboriginal peoples on the West Coast considered the Orca the reincarnation of their Chief who died days before the Orca was found.
A Killer Whale specialist considered Luna's death an inevitable result of inaction by the Department of Fisheries, and Marine Mammal scientists.
Once again the Fisheries bueracracy knows best.....they have something in common with Indian Affairs, both fail to consult with those in the know, aboriginals and fishers. Had they, Luna may have alive today.

Maybe Luna was killed as a result of libertarians who wanted the big fish to swim free with its own kind, not to be a slave of man, yet after years of servitude could not adjust to its new life, a fish out of water per chance. Or maybe you are right and George Bush ordered that Luna should "swim with the fishes".
