In June 2019, Canada passed Bill S-203: Ending the Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act, which outlawed the keeping, breeding, and capture of cetaceans.
Marineland is trying to get around the new law by exporting five, captive-born beluga whales to the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, where the whales will be used for "research" purposes and still be forced to live a life in captivity.
SIGN THE PETITION urging the National Marine Fisheries
Service/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Canadian
Minister of Fisheries and Oceans to deny the respective import and export
permits! SIGN PETITION HERE.
UNITED STATES RESIDENTS: The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), formally known as the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS), is taking comments on the permit application until
