Fifth Beluga Death at Marineland Sparks Outcry Over Animal Welfare

The Ontario government's investigation reveals water quality is not linked to the recent deaths, but calls for Marineland's closure intensify.

Marineland in Niagara Falls, Canada, has seen the death of 17 belugas since 2019, with the latest incident raising serious concerns.
The Ontario government confirms that recent beluga deaths are not related to water quality, despite past issues.
Opposition leaders and animal rights activists are demanding the park's closure, citing a lack of accountability and transparency.
Marineland has faced legal challenges and fines for animal welfare violations, including a recent C$85,000 penalty for mistreating black bears.
The park is currently seeking new ownership, with its future and the fate of the remaining animals uncertain.
