‘A life of captivity’: Canada refuses marine park’s request to export its whales to China | Canada
The Canadian government rejected the demand for expulsion of the remaining 30 Beluga whales to China due to the concerns of the besieged Marineland theme park, whales will be treated more ill -treatment.
Marineland, an amusement park, zoo and aquarium in the Niagara Waterfalls, has one of the world’s largest captive whale populations and united in discussions between reports of bad conditions for animals exhibited for a long time.
According to the documents compiled by Canada Press, twenty whales, 19 Belugas and a killer whale died in the park since 2019.
Marineland did not open the summer season this year and did not respond to comments, but in February, a lawyer for the park, said he was still planning to lift the remaining animals on the grounds.
The Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in China confirmed that he was thinking of buying Belugas to the CBC News, but on Wednesday, Federal Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson said that his demand for exporting whales were rejected.
“I was not good in good conscience, I could not approve of an export that would continue to be folded by Belugas,” he added: çalışma It would mean that it would mean a continuous life and a return to public entertainment under captivity. ”
Thompson said: “Like many of you, I said that these whales lived in captivity and as a result, their health is deteriorated.”
What accelerated the fall of the park was the 2019 Federal Law, which prohibited the sale, captivity and reproduction of dolphins and whales. When the legislation came into force, it meant that Marineland could not buy a new animal.
According to the Canadian press, Ontario State Inspectors have joined more than 200 parks since 2020 and ordered 33 harmony.
Marineland said that Belugas had previously received high health care and daytime warning.
Ontario’s Prime Minister Doug Ford said at a press conference last week that the state will “do whatever it takes” to give the remaining whales to the remaining whales. “There is terrible there.” He said.
Before becoming an open oral critic of the park, Phil Demers, who trained whales in the park between 2000-2012, said that despite the relief of whales, they would not be sent to China and they were at risk.
The only valid alternative will be that animals live somewhere with strict laws that protect their welfare. Demers said the US is probably the best option.
He said that “political appetite” has disappeared to keep Marineland into account and save animals since Canada was opened in 1961. Despite the state’s investigation, he says that the states should not be detained – Demers should be.
“They allowed some kind of boiling on the rear burner and we are boiling now,” he said.
