Outrage against Canada’s Marineland theme park after fifth beluga dies

Summary

A fifth beluga has died at Canada’s Marineland, bringing the total beluga deaths to 17 since 2019, raising serious concerns about the future of the controversial theme park.

Ontario’s chief animal welfare inspector reported that Marineland’s water quality meets acceptable standards, and inspectors have visited the park frequently.

Activists, including former trainer Phil Demers, argue that poor conditions are leading to mass beluga deaths and criticize the government for failing to intervene.

Political leaders have condemned Marineland, with some pledging to shut it down if elected.
