The killer whale who changed the world

The history of how one young whale, Moby Doll, affected those involved with its capture off Saturna Island in British Columbia in 1964 is a fascinating read. The way Orcas were perceived prior to this event is in marked contrast to today. I loved all the characters the author introduces us to in his tale of this time and the years that followed. Amazing the impact this mammal had on the course of history.

Interesting and heartbreaking. It's incredible to see how knowledge has increased in the 60 years since they captured Moby Doll/Dick.

After seeing Blackfish, it's hard to look back on these people as anything other than killers, which, given their prey has a certain irony.
