GOLD RIVER, British Columbia - A playful killer whale who likes to frolic alongside fishermen has damaged three boats in separate incidents in recent weeks.
Luna, described by fishermen as a friendly 5-year-old whale, has made frequent contact with people and boats in waters off Vancouver Island, about 125 miles north of the U.S. border, for more than two years.
Now Canadian officials and a Canadian-Indian group are working on a plan to protect Luna and humans. Officials hope to eventually reunite Luna with his pod of U.S. relatives.
