If you can’t leave them, sell them or send them to a sanctuary, what do you do?
While Marineland doesn’t have any current plans to euthanize the 30 belugas swimming around what's left of the Niagara Falls amusement park, the company threatened to do so last week in a letter to Canada’s federal Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson which was obtained by CBC News.
The park would be faced with the “devastating decision of euthanasia” unless the federal government could provide them financial support, Marineland said in a letter.
The message came days after the minister denied Marineland’s request for permits to send the whales to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, a theme park in China which was interested in buying the mammals. The government said it aimed to prevent the whales from being used for entertainment purposes.
So far, Marineland hasn’t been able to find a suitable sanctuary or other facility to house the whales. Owners of the theme park said in a report that a proposed Nova Scotia sanctuary is too polluted and isn’t on track to being developed soon enough.
Marine mammal experts say that if the threat to euthanize the belugas became a reality, the option would come with a host of logistical and moral issues.

Why not let them go into the ocean? They would at least have a chance.
What’s a beluga ?
If you don’t give us money... We’ll kill these cute little whales.
Let my people go!........................

ya think so?
what’s the latest count on dead whales washing ashore near the atlantic wind farms?
Hey it’s legal - and encouraged - in Kanadastan to euthanize humans so belugas should be no big deal, eh?
Or as National Lampoon put it so succinctly in about 1971:
“Buy this magazine or we’ll kill this dog!”
“If you don’t give us money... We’ll kill these cute little whales.”
Much more to the story.
Exactly. Their instincts are still there, regardless what the tree-hugger, self-annointed, friends-of-all-animals but only-on-our-terms fruitloops say. If they turn out to be prey, well, that’s the cycle of life and how nature works.
Beluga Burger special! With Canadian Bacon for a small additional fee.
Put them in an ocean pen like Free Willey. They'll become acclimatized.
I wonder if they would? What the record is for such whales released to the wild. Of course, the record isn’t good now for whales born into the wild either...
them’s good eatin’. Ask any Eskimo or Norwegian!
Maybe this?
Got to be better odds than euthanasia.
Belugapalooza!
