The efforts of Visser and Foster were amazing and hopefully more knowledge was gained that may help if a similar incident should happen again and have a happier ending.

It’s a terribly sad story, but one with an abundance of love.
New Zealand is a great country who respects their indigenous people. Toa’s burial at a sunrise ceremony at Ngāti Toa’s local marae, was very moving and a fitting end to an animal that is considered sacred by the Moari.

Keep your greedy hands off those Whales and Dolphins. I want the next generation to think about what is cost of the Whales and Dolphins freedom to be free in their oceans and to wild. Think about that what if we were in their shoes.They will always be wild you can never take the wild out Whales or Dolphins so remember that when you see a Whales and dolphins.

May he be at peace somewhere. I wish all human encounters with animals could be for the animals benefit as this clearly was.

May he watch over us in helping other whales and dolphins.

I was with you in spirit and my heart is with Toa and Toa’s Momma. Everyone did an amazing job but in the end it wasn’t meant to be. God wanted Toa in Heaven for a reason that we aren’t meant to understand yet. Heaven is a little sweeter and wonderful because of Toa. God bless you all.

I was amazed how everyone worked together like a fine oiled machine to save this beautiful soul. His final farewell was so touching. I now want to learn more about the culture there. This story is wonderful I only wish there were more young people like Ben in this world.

Very sorry to hear that Toa died. He was well cared for in his final days and as you said people learnt more about caring for a baby orca. Thank you to all who helped him. 🐳

I followed his story the entire time from America, and find it comforting to read how loved and cared for he was. His poor mother. Thank you for all your hard work.
