Ontario urges Ottawa to revisit decision blocking Marineland’s export of beluga whales to China

October 23, 2025

Ontario’s Solicitor-General is urging the federal government to reconsider a request from Marineland to export 30 beluga whales to China, saying it’s one of the only options to keep the animals alive.

Michael Kerzner, who oversees animal welfare in the province, told The Globe and Mail he has made his case directly to federal Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson about the fate of the whales currently living at the shuttered amusement park in Niagara Falls, Ont.
