Six beluga whales made a dramatic escape from financial ruin at Marineland Canada, relocating to U.S. aquariums after the park ran out of funds and faced potential euthanasia. Four landed at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, two at SeaWorld in San Antonio — all before August 31. The move, involving custom slings, secure containers, and a Boeing 777 flight, sparked debate: while new homes are hailed as lifesaving, critics argue Marineland, which profited from captivity, should have funded sanctuaries instead. Advocates worry about breeding in captivity, while Marineland’s rep dismisses sanctuaries as unrealistic and claims welfare groups ignore animal social needs — even after failed attempts to send whales to China.
