SaralnamaMarineland, an amusement park in Ontario, Canada, threatens to euthanize 30 beluga whales. The park wanted to send the whales to China, but the Canadian government blocked the transfer. Marineland then asked for federal funding to care for the animals. This request was also denied. The park says it can't afford to keep the whales. Animal welfare groups are angry about the threat to kill the whales. They want the government to step in and save the animals. Marineland has faced criticism for poor animal care since 2020. The park closed this summer and is in financial trouble. (Updated 7 Oct 2025, 19:02 IST; source: link)
