Advocates fear Marineland whales, dolphins may end up in shows or bred if export to U.S. approved | CBC News Canada’s minister of fisheries says Marineland’s plan to ship 34 marine mammals to aquariums in the U.S. is "solid."

I don't believe our Fisheries Minister, or US Aquariums, or Sea World Texas non-performance promises, or that cold-water #belugas should be crossing the border when Canadians aren't. With more natural coastline than any other country in the world, we failed these animals. #Canada🇨🇦 (Hope I'm wrong.)

The choices here are exported to the USA or euthanasia. The facility is broke, they are hugely expensive to feed and look after. I vote export!

American #aquariums say they are working to provide future for #Marineland’s #belugas | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/1163489...

American aquariums say they are working to provide future for Marineland’s belugas American aquariums say they visited Marineland last week with the goal of “providing hope and a future” for 30 beluga whales that face euthanasia should they not be moved.

I suspect Marineland’s #belugas will be euthanized, not rehomed, because #Marineland and the ON gov can't solve this. Developers are impatient. 2 Marineland belugas already died at Mystic Aquarium due to poor veterinary care a few years ago, why send more? Sad and shameful. #Canada🇨🇦 🐋 #onpoli

Beluga whales 'swap wives' to enhance survival Beluga whales indulge in wife swapping to enhance their long term survival chances, reveals new scientific research.

Expanded drilling in Arctic waters and Cook Inlet is wrong for Alaska Alaskans today are grappling with an unclear future that is balanced between the impacts of a warming climate and the strain of depleting fisheries.

Everyone loved Marineland. Now its last belugas face an uncertain fate. The plight of 30 captive belugas at Ontario’s now-shuttered Marineland theme park captures how decades of entertainment, science and activism has reshaped Canadians’ relationship with whales

Belugas may be jiggling their melons to communicate It's probably about sex.

"These Arctic-dwelling cetaceans have an organ on their foreheads that’s referred to as the melon. It has long been a source of fascination to scientists, who’ve proposed a variety of theories over the years to explain its presence."

A disheartening update highlighting just how morally stagnant & greedy our species really is, the focus seemingly having turned from the well-being of the enslaved, languishing animals to their being little more than a roadblock to future financial endeavours
