Saralnama30 beluga whales at Marineland in Canada face possible euthanasia. The park near Niagara Falls can't afford to care for them. It tried to sell the whales to China but was denied. Animal welfare groups want the whales moved to sanctuaries. Ontario did over 200 inspections since 2020. 20 whales died at Marineland since 2019. The park didn't open to tourists this spring. Officials are looking for ways to save the whales. Some think Marineland's euthanasia threat isn't real. A sanctuary in Nova Scotia could take 8-10 whales by summer 2025. Experts say finding homes for all 30 whales will be hard. (Updated 12 Oct 2025, 14:24 IST; source: link)
