Canada’s Last Captive Whales Set to Leave Marineland for U.S. Aquariums
- Canada's last captive whales, six belugas from Marineland, are being transferred to two U.S. aquariums, ending whale captivity in Canada.
- Marineland in Niagara Falls, Ontario, is closed and up for sale due to financial difficulties and its inability to care for the animals.
- Marineland has relocated a total of 30 belugas and four dolphins to aquariums in the U.S. and Spain, marking the largest collective move of captive whales ever.
- Canada banned whale and dolphin captivity in 2019 but allowed the existing animals at Marineland to remain; a planned move to China was blocked by the federal government, which led to Marineland threatening euthanasia of the whales without emergency funds.
