Another beluga whale has died at Marineland, bringing the number of whales that have died at the Niagara Falls, Ont., tourist attraction to 15 over the past four years. The province’s Animal Welfare Services has been investigating Marineland since it took over animal cruelty enforcement in 2020. “The ministry is aware of the death of a beluga whale and a sea lion at Marineland,” Brent Ross, a spokesman with the Ministry of the Solicitor General, wrote in an email.

What if Eggman created his own version of Marineland?

Like he creates his own aquatic theme park filled with Killer whales, dolphins,Belugas and a walrus too. And he forces them to perform tricks for his personal amusement

One of the minigames found in the MarineLand area of the JumpStart MMO was Trendy Tides, a fashion show which asked players to dress their Jumpeez within specific requirements. When it was first added to the game, it was called "Merllywood’s Next Top Model", which is most likely a play on the name of the TV show "America's Next Top Model".

Florida's Marineland, where some dolphins develop skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.

In my free time I make really bad memes so here's some to channel my anger in response to Marineland Canada's last surviving orca dying (Kiska)

[daisylovesrumble]

petition: Marineland Broke Animal Cruelty Laws. Its Leadership Must Be Held Accountable.

Marineland is an infamous park in Ontario, Canada, known for allowing its captive animals to suffer. For example, one killer whale there named Kiska has become known as "the world's loneliest orca" due to her severe isolation and obvious signs of psychological distress.

Now Ontario's government is holding the park accountable for breaking animal cruelty laws in its mistreatment of three black bears. Officials have detailed the ways in which Marineland allegedly abused its bears — including by depriving them of sufficient access to water, for months at a time.

A previous employee also shared that due to mistreatment at the park, staff became fearful that male bears would develop aggressive behaviors and kill cubs. Marineland's response was to fire her. After an Animal Welfare Services investigation found multiple violations of animal cruelty laws, it ordered the park to make changes. But still, apparently, "Marineland did nothing."

Experts say it's very likely the park will be shut down soon, meaning the animals will be re-homed somewhere reputable. This is great news for all animals trapped in the nightmare that is Marineland. 

But the people who ran this facility and allowed animals to experience extreme suffering must also be held accountable for the cruelty perpetrated on their watch. Sign the petition now!

The JumpStart MMO featured a character named Katrina Catfish (Kat for short), a cat-mermaid who resided in MarineLand. One of the tasks she would give to the player was to take a photo of a statue depicting her great-grandmother, who oddly seems to be a human mermaid rather than a cat mermaid.

Booklet Description: 7. FEEDING A PORPOISE AT MARINE STUDIOS Just south of St. Augustine is a Florida must! At Marineland, two great oceanarium tanks hold a wonderfully colorful and mysterious world of the underseas. Through 300 portholes, visitors can view and photograph the marine life of a tropical coral reef. At feeding time, helmeted divers walk among great sea turtles, tiger sharks, sting rays, barracudas, and moray eels. Stars of the show are the educated porpoises. These playful mammals of the sea leap through paper hoops and snatch fish from the hand, even the mouth, of the attendant.
