Animal rights lawyer Ontario urges to seize Belugus, afraid of fear that Marinland may erupt them

Animal Rights Advocates Niagra Falls, are condemning Marinland’s threat to eutterizing 30 living Beluga at Defect Amusement Park at Onts, if the federal government does not come through funding to take care of the whale or authorize their exports until Tuesday.

The World Animal Protection is calling on the Canada Provincial Government to intervene and seize the whale to prevent its death.

Wildlife campaign manager Erin Ryan with the organization said, “It is morally condemnable” to make the Canadian government hostage for Marinland “to make it the mandatory decision”.

The euthanasia should not be seen as a cost-saving measure, Ryan told CBC News.

“This should only be seen as an alternative when independent veterinary assessment states that it is in the best interest of animals.”

One in Marinland sent the letter on Friday The federal fisheries minister was obtained for Joan Thompson and by CBC News, the company said that it is in “an important financial state”, “fully indebted” and “to provide enough care for the whale” is not “resources to provide”.

The letter came after Thompson denied Marinland’s request for export permit. It was aimed at sending Chimelong Ocean Kingdom to Belugas, a theme park in China.

The company’s letter states, “The severity of the funding crisis in Marinland cannot be eliminated; Another delay ends the welfare and safety of the whale, and we are afraid that we are running out of time to work.”

Marinland stated that the decision to give euthanasia to the whale, which was born in captivity, would be the “direct result of the minister’s decision to withdraw the export permit”.

Marineland funding request ‘Inappropriate,’ minister says

CBC News arrived at the premiere office for the comment, but did not receive any response to the publication.

On Monday, however, Thompson spoke to reporters at Queen Park in Toronto, saying that it is “inappropriate” to respond to not having an export permit with a request for Federal Funding immediately for Marinland.

Thompson reiterated that the decision of Ottawa last week to reject the export request was based on strengthening the 2019 of both the Fisheries Act and the Criminal Code, which aims to not allow for further exploitation of animals.

Thompson stated that Marinland is responsible for the care of Belugas and the province plays a role to maintain animals well. The minister also said that he would talk with Marinland on Monday.

Nineteen Belugus Has died in Marinland since 2019Last Orca, Kiska, died in 2023.

Outside the Covid -19 closure this year, Marinland’s 60 -year history was first marked, that it was not open, enhances concerns about the future of Belugas and the future of other animals in the park.

Ryan said that his animal advocacy organization has been calling for the years for Marinland, and Ontario and federal governments to bring experts and stakeholders together to talk about the best plan for animals.

Ryan Nova is calling Ottawa and Ontario to work with the Skotia government as part of the efforts to help create a whale sanctuary on the eastern coast of Scotia. However, plans for the project Has stoppedAlthough the website for Whale sanctuary project Marineland is being updated with the news of Belugas.

Another option, Ryan said, Ontario will now have to seize Belugus under the Pavs Act and animal care.

“But it is important to note that Marinland will not be kept financially from hooks. We should make them financially accountable for taking care of those animals under all legal possible options.”

‘All options need to be seen’

Angela Fernandez, a professor at the University of Toronto, said that she threatens Marinland’s ultimatum and possibly animals to be “quite shocking”.

Fernandez told CBC News, “This is a very false dicotomy and is quite shocking, in fact, that they are going there.”

Fernandez also said that Premier Doug Ford needs to intervene and seize animals in the park, “even though it is seizing them in place for this time, until a good plan could be worked on what to do with them.

“It will include zoo and aquariums that may probably carry them, sanctuary options that can be available – all options need to be seen, but we need time to do so, especially because it contains a lot of parties.

“So, being one,” You met it till Tuesday, otherwise, we are going to kill the animals, “I mean it’s a way crazy,” Fernandez said.

Fernandez believes that the danger of Marlinland to give animals euthanasia to the authorities “needs to go and seize them, as they need to be preserved.”

Export refusal compared to ‘death sentence’

Andrew Trights, a professor at the maritime mammal research unit at the University of British Columbia, said Ottawa rejected Marinland’s request for an export permit, like “death sentence for those animals”.

“I think the federal government has not given any option to Marinland. If animals cannot leave the country, what? They can not clearly feed them and take care of them – they have money or are running out.

“They have asked, I think, to see them very appropriately, they have been transferred to another feature that can provide the care that they deserve and need them.

“So, I really feel for Belugas. I really wonder if we are thinking about them and giving them the best opportunity and what is in their best interest,” Tights said.

The trights stated that when he agrees with Thompson that animals should no longer be used for entertainment, given that Canadian Belugas currently face to face, they may be allowed to export for research objectives.

“I think we want to make sure that something is coming back in Canada too. We can build a linkage and those animals can help,” he said.

“In addition, the understanding and conservation of wild animals living in St. Lawrence, animals living in Canadian Arctic, which depend indigenous people, we have a huge opportunity here to overtake it instead of seeing it as a funeral.”
