Canada’s Last Captive Whales Headed to New Homes

Canada’s government is clearing the way for a dramatic rescue: 30 belugas and 4 dolphins from shuttered Marineland in Niagara Falls are being relocated to accredited aquariums across the U.S. and Spain, avoiding euthanasia.

Experts agree this relocation is the best possible outcome for the animals. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
