It's been a big week in the news for Marineland.
CKTB broke the news Wednesday that the Niagara Falls theme park had filed a lawsuit against the OSPCA for $21 million.
The lawsuit alleges the OSPCA maliciously targeted the theme park in order to curry favour with animal rights activists and boost fundraising.
The lawsuit also alleges the OSPCA launched a criminal investigation against Marineland last year for ``improper purposes'' and with the intention of harming the Niagara Falls amusement park's reputation.
The investigation culminated with the laying of 11 animal cruelty charges against Marineland, which were then withdrawn this summer.
In a statement of claim filed Tuesday, Marineland says the OSPCA laid the charges as part of a broader push to ban commercial zoos and aquariums and promote other policy goals.
The allegations have not been proven in court and the OSPCA has not yet filed a statement of defence, but says it denies the allegations and will defend itself in court.
Animal activist Phil Demers, who is also involved in a lawsuit with Marineland says it's just another chapter in the park's sad story.
Demers, who once worked at the park says Marineland is in denial, and people just don't love them.
Marineland is home to Canada's only Killer Whale living in captivity.
Demers would like to see Kiska moved to a whale sanctuary which is being built.
He says Kiska has suffered a terrible life and it's time the suffering ends.
