It is cruel to leave Luna in Nootka Sound, and doing so threatens the future of the endangered southern orca community.

He needs help to leave a world of humans and to return to a world of whales.

Luna is lonely and needs the companionship of his family.

He was separated and is now like a lost child. Since he cannot find his mom, he uses inanimate objects and people in an attempt to fulfill some of his behavioural and psychological needs.

Springer, the lone orca in Puget Sound, was captured and successfully reunited with her A pod family.

In order to protect Luna and people who could be accidentally injured, he should be immediately returned to his family.
