The Canadian government blocked Marineland's attempt to export the animals to a park in China.

A Canadian amusement park is threatening to euthanise 30 beluga whales after the government blocked its request to send them to China.

The park is said to have told ministers that it was in a “critical financial state” and unable to provide adequate care for the whales

    Thanks for that diatribe.

    I may not know anything about this company, but apparently I know a whole lot more about the law, company’s, and how the world works than you do.

    Quite obviously, you can’t force a company to do what they ought to do.

    You also can’t just write a law to say proprietors can not kill their own livestock.

    Anyhow, I’ll look forward to being wrong about this.

      People have been protesting this company for decades. “The Walrus and the Whistleblower” is a great documentary on Marineland, following the story of a local activist who spent years in legal battles against Marineland. Nobody is going to stop fighting while there is still any opportunity to pursue justice for those animals.

      It’s too bad you feel like the battle is already lost, but I don’t think that’s any reason to stop fighting and surrender to something you know is wrong.
