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

Canada’s federal government has formally endorsed a relocation plan. The plan concerns the two whales from the closed Marineland park. Officials propose moving the animals to facilities in the United States. A second destination for the whales is identified as Spain. The endorsement follows public pressure after Marineland’s shutdown. Authorities say the move will ensure the whales’ welfare and safety. Logistics and transport details are still being finalized. The decision sets a precedent for future marine‑animal relocations.
