THE CANADIAN PRESS/Carlos OsorioSeven more whales are on the move from Marineland, headed to a new home at an aquarium in the United States. Marineland says in a statement that it has begun the second phase of its whale relocation plan, just weeks after successfully transferring six belugas to Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and SeaWorld in San Antonio. Not long after, Marineland captured international attention when it threatened to euthanize all of its belugas if it didn’t obtain emergency funding. Before then, Marineland had 30 belugas and four dolphins, the largest complement of captive belugas in the world as well as Canada's last remaining captive whales and dolphins.
