Beluga Whales Headed to U.S. for Rescue | Montreal News
About this episode
Six beluga whales are being transported to the U.S. for a historic rescue amid Marineland's closure.
Six beluga whales are embarking on a historic, cross-border rescue mission to the U.S., marking a potential end to Marineland’s animal operations. After years of controversy and failed relocation attempts—including a blocked move to China—the whales are being transported in specialized containers with police escorts to accredited aquariums in Chicago, San Antonio, and beyond. Critics hail this as a turning point for marine animal welfare, though some argue a seaside sanctuary would’ve been ideal. With the Canadian government’s backing and months of meticulous planning, this emergency rescue aims to ensure the belugas’ safety amid Marineland’s financial collapse and closure.
