Beluga Blues: Marineland's Bittersweet Goodbye The long awaited "emergency rescue" of Marineland's beluga whales has finally begun, marking a bittersweet end to an era in Niagara Falls.
Six of the 30 remaining whales are being flown out of Hamilton today and will be bound for US aquariums that promise better living conditions and care.
This relocation plan was months in the making, sparked by concerns over Marineland's dwindling funds and the threat of euthanasia for its beloved belugas.
