Marineland Canada's Beluga Whales Face Uncertain Future
Marineland, an aquatic park in Ontario, Canada, is struggling to care for its 30 remaining beluga whales due to severe financial difficulties.
The park, located near Niagara Falls, has been closed to the public for over a year and has been denied emergency funding by the federal government.
A recent request to transfer the beluga whales to a theme park in China was also rejected by the government in early October.
The future of Marineland's marine mammals is more uncertain than ever.
- Marineland Canada has been closed to the public since the end of summer 2024.
- The park is heavily in debt and has been unable to secure emergency funding.
- The fate of the 30 remaining beluga whales is uncertain, with euthanization being considered.
