Who Killed Miracle?
June 1977, a baby Orca was spotted swimming erratically near Nanaimo,
British Columbia. It was in distress, vocalizing and swimming
erratically. Two weeks later, Bill Davis, a sport fisherman discovered
the baby Orca in Menzies Bay near Campbell River. Davis befriended the
little whale and began to feed her by hand in the wild. Bill’s phone
call to Murray Newman at the Vancouver Aquarium triggered a series of
phone calls which ended at the office of “Sealand of the Pacific”
and its owner, Bob Wright. Bob Wright mobilized a rescue team just in
case the story was true. And it was. This story captured the attention
of thousands of people who came out to see a baby whale recover from
gun shot wounds and terrible infections. She survived only to die
mysteriously under a cloud of controversy 5 years later.
