Tenacious whale swims across Pacific with broken spine: B.C. researchers

Janie Wray, CEO and lead researcher for B.C. Whales, says it is likely to be the last journey for the whale known as Moon.As the Canadian national soccer teams head to their respective FIFA World Cups, Derek Van Diest is on the scene to cover all the action.

“So she’s literally just using her arms, but for her, it’s her pectoral fins, to move. As far as we can tell, she is not using her tail at all.” Wray says researchers believed Moon had been hit by a large ship, and the whale’s plight left her almost speechless. “She was most likely born in Hawaii and her mother would have migrated to the feeding ground of B.C. with her when she was a calf and that tradition and that knowledge just passed on,” said Wray.

Put a bullet in that thing! We want to kill people who just want to live but are just asking for a chair lift in their home but we won't put a whale out of it's misery?

well the beastie swam from bc to hawaii so dont count it out just yet.

It’s not like it has a choice in the matter lol

Is this true or another starving polar bear caused by climate change. Stop buying crap shipped from China and there will be less container ships because we all know since whaling, their populations have rebounded. PS accidents happen in the ocean.
