Outrage against Canada’s Marineland theme park after fifth beluga dies
Most recent fatality marks 17th beluga to die at Niagara Falls, Ontario, aquarium since 2019
Summary
A fifth beluga has died at Canada’s Marineland, bringing the total beluga deaths to 17 since 2019, raising serious concerns about the future of the controversial theme park.
Ontario’s chief animal welfare inspector reported that Marineland’s water quality meets acceptable standards, and inspectors have visited the park frequently.
Activists, including former trainer Phil Demers, argue that poor conditions are leading to mass beluga deaths and criticize the government for failing to intervene.
Political leaders have condemned Marineland, with some pledging to shut it down if elected.
It’s too small for the animals.
It's not just too small. It's a torture chamber for echolocation and intelligent beings that can swim vast distances.
Think of gitmo with stress positions and metallica blaring nonstop and the lights are always on.
not only can, but NEEDS to swim vast distances.
I watched a video about this place maybe a year or so ago and it looked awful, I can't belive this place is still open.
I've been there, it's not even a good park if you ignore the animal cruelty, and I thought this as a kid.
They are sentient beings and they know they are slaves.
FYI: Beluga whales are fucking awesome.
SeaWorld starts sweating.
