'Just Repugnant': Outcry as Marine Park Threatens to Euthanise Belugas

  • Marineland, a marine park in Canada, has warned the government that the remaining 30 beluga whales will be euthanized if they do not receive financial aid by October 7.
  • Fisheries Minister Joanna Thompson denied Marineland's export license request to transfer the whales to an aquarium in China.
  • Marineland has faced serious allegations of animal abuse and saw a sharp decline in visitors after Canada's 'Free Willy' bill prohibited whale breeding in captivity.
  • Thompson criticized the park for not having a viable plan to care for the whales, stating it is not the government’s responsibility to cover Marineland’s expenses.
