The Canadian Marinland Entertainment Park says it will have to get rid of 30 Biloga whale without emergency financing

A Canadian entertainment park said it would have no choice but to get rid of 30 Biloga whale if the federal government does not provide emergency financing by the end of Tuesday.

Marinland, the zoo and a park under the very scrutiny of its treatment of captive animals, closed to the public last year, and may try to sell its assets since then. He remains in his possession the last captive whales in Canada, which it says lacks resources to continue to take care of them.

Earlier this month, Canada refused to request the park to send whales to the park in Ocean Ocean, China. The Minister of Fisheries, Joan Thompson, said that the export “will lead to the treatment of the exposure of this bilija.”

According to the Canadian Press News Agency, 20 whales – one killer whale and 19 Belugas – in Marinland have died since 2019. that year was when the Canada Legislative Authority approved the bill, which would become a law, Make it illegal carrying a whale, dolphin or captive pigs Punished fines of up to $ 150,000.

Inspectors previously announced that all animals in Marinland were in distress due to poor water quality.

On Friday, Park Management wrote to the federal government requesting cash leakage by October 7, according to New York Times and CBC News reports.

“If we do not receive a response by that date, we will have no choice but to assume that the answers to our inquiries are negative,” Marinland wrote, adding that “he will face the destroyed decision of the merciful killing.”

Thompson rejected the request, according to the Times.

She wrote: “The fact that Marinland has not planned an applicable alternative despite raising these whales in captivity for many years, do not put responsibility for the Canadian government to cover your expenses.”

While Canada’s Fisheries Minister has argued in whales belonging to the ocean, some experts have warned that marine mammals that are raised in captivity cannot be returned to the wilderness without intense planning, as animals often lack hunting and social interaction skills.

Live shows of the ocean have faced low attendance and increased criticism in recent years, as activists have sparked animal care concerns in many western countries.
