Canadian Government Endorses Plan to Transfer Marineland Whales to U.S. and Spain

The Canadian government has given its backing to a relocation plan for whales. The whales are currently housed at the shuttered Marineland park. The plan calls for moving the animals to facilities in the United States and Spain. Officials said the endorsement aims to ensure the whales' welfare. The decision was reported by WANDTV.com. Relocating the whales involves coordination with foreign partners. The move follows the closure of Marineland’s marine attractions. Stakeholders will monitor the transport and care of the whales.
