Canadian Senator Wilfred Moore's bill S-203a, re-introduced in December 2015, the Ending the Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act, would prevent this tragedy from being inflicted upon future whales by banning their capture, confinement, breeding and sale.
LCA conducted a five-month undercover investigation into Marineland Canada during the summer and fall of 2015, with a primary focus on the park’s beluga whale population. The majority of the park’s 46 belugas are confined to just three main pools with no breeding program in place to regulate births, allowing Marineland’s population of belugas to continue to grow at an alarming and irresponsible rate.
The investigation uncovered disturbing inadequacies in the care of the whales, seen in this video..
LCA’s investigation reveals:
After completing the investigation, LCA submitted a complaint to the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals alleging violations of the OSPCA Act. The complaint details Marineland's care of whales that falls below prescribed standards in medical treatment, food, protection from elements, water quality and psychological well being.
Canadian Senator Wilfred Moore's bill S-203a, re-introduced in December 2015, the Ending the Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act, would prevent this tragedy from being inflicted upon future whales by banning their capture, confinement, breeding and sale.
