Marineland says it is fully indebted and needs federal funding to avoid euthanizing 30 captive belugas after export permits were denied by Fisheries Minister, officials said.
- Marineland, located in Niagara Falls, Ont., urgently needs financial support from the federal government to prevent euthanizing its 30 beluga whales.
- Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson denied Marineland's request for export permits, stating her unwillingness to see the whales kept in captivity.

- The park mentioned that euthanizing the whales would be a direct consequence of Thompson's decision to withhold export permits, as there are no other facilities or sanctuaries available to house them.
