A Call-Out to All of Us from Animal Justice, a not-for-profit organization that strives to give animals a “legal voice” in Canada
Posted September 29th, 2025 on Niagara At Large
In a deeply disturbing move, Marineland Canada (in Niagara Falls, Ontario) has applied for permits to export its remaining 30 beluga whales to a theme park in China.
These whales are sentient, intelligent beings who have already endured years of confinement, and are now facing the terrifying possibility of being shipped halfway across the world to spend the rest of their lives in tanks, far from the cold North Atlantic waters where they belong.
Animal welfare organizations are justifiably outraged. Confining these whales to concrete tanks is not only unethical, it’s torture. Now they will be sent to a country where there are virtually no enforceable animal welfare laws.
Once the whales are shipped overseas, Canada will have no control over their treatment, health, or survival. They could be forced to perform daily and condemned to a life of permanent captivity for entertainment.
