Video of Orca Whale Beached, Brenneckes Beach, Kauai, Hawaii
24 October 2008
A baby Orca killer whale was found floundering off the shore today in Brennecke’s beach in Poipu, Kauai. Hundreds of spectators came to watch as the poor whale struggled but was eventually beached on the sand. Federal wildlife officials had to put her to sleep, but not after people tried to save her and push her back into the water. Unfortunately, she kept washing back ashore.
Orca whale (more commonly known as Killer Whale) sightings are actually very rare in Hawaii. This 18-foot female suffered from shark bites and whale lice, and probably had been sick for quite some time. Video of the whale from local Kauai Channel 26 is shown below:
what an unusual event, I was actually working at turtle Bay near the spouting horn on Kauai on that very same day. Just so happened that the client I was working for and installing a double garage door on his vacation condo on the south side. Happened to be an advocate for Greenpeace. I tried to get over there and take pictures but my work was in demand. I had to finish the double door installation for Mike Flynn. Mike Flynn and his family own about 15 Ocean front condos on the south shore of Kauai, they called me quickly because the mayor of Kauai suddenly put out a work order for homeowners that have added extensions to their home meaning turning their garage into a rental, were all finished up the to put a garage door to signify that the add-on was once a garage.
As the dutiful day went by knowing about the killer whale had really struck home because of the damage done but were killer orca whale died. As a quality Kauai construction work and my wife’s a professional Kauai massage therapist we suddenly become more aware of Greenpeace.
