Since 2019, 16 belugas and one killer whale have died at the Niagara Falls tourist attraction, the only place in Canada that still holds whales in captivity.
Another beluga whale has died at Marineland and four years into a provincial probe, Ontario ’s solicitor general is saying little about the investigation’s progress.
A spokesman for Solicitor General Michael Kerzner, whose department is responsible for animal welfare across the province, said Animal Welfare Services has conducted more than 200 inspections at the park. The public is very concerned about the animals at Marineland, said John Fraser, parliamentary leader of the Ontario Liberal Party.
Ross also said the province’s chief animal welfare inspector, Melanie Milczynski, declined to be interviewed. Milczynski is the fourth chief animal welfare inspector since Animal Welfare Services began operating in late 2019. Successive chiefs have declined multiple interview requests. The Canadian Press appealed the case to the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario. In September of last year, the government agreed to provide some of the information. Marineland appealed the decision, which meant that the records were not released.
