Canada backs plan to relocate Marineland whales to the United States and Spain

The Canadian government has given its support to a relocation plan. The plan concerns whales held at the closed Marineland park. Officials propose moving the animals to facilities in the United States. A second destination identified is Spain. The endorsement follows the park’s shutdown. Authorities say the move will ensure the whales’ continued care. The governments of the receiving countries will be involved in the transfer. The next step is to arrange transport and secure suitable habitats.
