Marineland has begun shipping its surviving belugas to aquariums in the US. This week, shocking drone footage<\/a> showed six belugas being loaded into trucks bound for Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and SeaWorld San Antonio.<\/p>\n In the coming weeks, the remaining whales and dolphins will be shipped to SeaWorld San Diego and Georgia Aquarium in the US, and Oceanogr\u00e0fic Val\u00e8ncia in Spain.<\/p>\n Canadian and US officials approved these permits after Marineland threatened<\/a> to otherwise kill all of its whales.<\/strong><\/p>\n But instead of working together to move these long-suffering animals to a seaside sanctuary, Marineland and the government are simply moving them from one tank to another.<\/p>\n For years, advocates have pushed to relocate these animals to coastal sanctuaries, such as the Whale Sanctuary Project<\/a> site currently under construction in Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n The Canadian government and Marineland failed these animals.<\/strong> It\u2019s incredibly disappointing that likely none of Marineland\u2019s survivors will ever experience life in the ocean.<\/p>\n To make matters even worse, some of these animals will be used for breeding\u2014condemning future generations to captive cruelty and undermining Canada\u2019s laws to end whale and dolphin captivity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
