A California based animal rights group commenting on the death of a beluga whale at Marineland in Niagara Falls.
The theme park announcing yesterday that a beluga named Gia had passed away after suffering a twisted intestine.
Last Chance for Animals says it had told the OSPCA in 2015 that Gia was undernourished and isolated from her pod, but no action was taken.
The group says it will continue efforts to push Canada to enact S-203, a bill to end the captivity of whales and dolphins.
The LCA's investigative director Hayden Hunter adding “Gia’s death and the Crown’s decision last week to drop 11 counts of land animal cruelty against the park, that resulted from another LCA complaint, only fuels our commitment to hold Marineland accountable and get justice for Gia.”
