Our executive director, @camillelabchuk.bsky.social, says the Minister had little choice but to approve #Marineland's export permits after it threatened to kill all surviving whales & dolphins.
Now, it's essential to ensure these animals aren't bred in the US.
🎉 Big win for animals!
Canada’s Federal Court of Appeal has upheld plastic protections—rejecting industry efforts to roll them back & protecting animals from plastic pollution 🐢🐋
#Marineland is again gambling with lives—threatening to kill 30 belugas & 4 dolphins if its demands to ship them to the US aren’t met. If the government allows the export, it must include “no-breeding” conditions ensuring NO future animals will suffer in tanks! #CdnPoli
Breaking news graphic from Animal Justice, announcing a federal grant allowing Marineland to send marine dolphins to the US after threats to execute them. Visit animaljustice.ca/marineland for more details.

Demasiado.
Hoy murió Kshamenk, la orca que fue sacada de su hogar el mar, en 1992, para ser exhibida adentro de una pileta indigna.
Kshamenk, lamentamos que solo la muerte haya podido ayudarte a ser libre.
Repudiamos el cautiverio de animales para entretenimiento humano.
Buen viaje, Kshamenk. Perdón.

I captured this scorpionfish in Sogod Bay, Philippines. It was the most colorful scorpionfish I've ever seen. I took it with my Sony RX100 Mark IV, Nauticam housing, and YS-D3 strobe.

Whales suffer chronic stress, boredom, & shortened lifespans in tiny tanks 😢
We must work together to help retire captive whales to sanctuaries where they can truly thrive!
Our recent panel brought together experts from @whalesanctuary.bsky.social, World Animal Protection, & our legal team to address the urgent crisis facing animals at Marineland.
Immediate, collaborative action is necessary to help the individuals still suffering 🐋 Full discussion on YouTube.
More background on the Marineland belugas… the proposed sanctuary in Nova Scotia is the most humane option, but they’re still only talking about taking 10 of 30

Of course. Totally agree they should pay. There's a terrible history at Marineland, though, and sadly their solution for upkeep is to kill 30 highly intelligent animals and be done with it. Not to mention that property is a mass grave and maybe not valued what it should be on the real estate market.
Take action to give the whales at Marineland the freedom they’ve been denied for so long.
Yes, it is their responsibility. And maybe why Marineland has threatened to kill the remaining belugas to join 1,000+ animals buried there in mass graves. These graves contained a range of park species, such as whales, dolphins, sea lions, seals, walruses, bears, and deer.

💔 Green Cove 💔
A pod of approx 50 Bottlenose Dolphins was driven into the Cove, 6 captives were taken prisoner, removed forcibly from their families never to see their pod mates or enjoy the freedom to explore the oceans again
The remaining pod members were released

Incredible, first-of-their-kind images show an orca being born in Norway — and the rest of its pod forming a protective circle

Take 30 secs and send a message to France and Canada. Action is possible, but time is running out
This doesn't need to take this fucking long. Do something, France! Please!
We did this. Humans. For profit. And now that it’s no longer profitable, the ugliness of our “culture” is heartbreakingly evident.

This historic #WhaleSanctuary will transform a natural cove on Nova Scotia’s eastern shore into a refuge 100 times larger than Marineland’s tanks! 🐳
"The belugas & other animals at Marineland deserve to live. A legal system that allows them to be killed because it is economically convenient is one that needs to change." — Maneesha Deckha, Professor & Lansdowne Chair in law, University of Victoria
