"A dolphin has also died at the Marineland theme park, which faces accusations of animal cruelty".

"Fourteen whales and a dolphin have died since 2019 at a popular Canadian aquarium and theme park, according to a new exposé by the Canadian Press.

Of the marine animals that have died, 13 were belugas and one was Kiska – the world’s loneliest orca, who died of a bacterial infection after four decades in captivity, the last 12 of which were in isolation.

The cause of death of the other 14 animals remains unclear.

Since January 2020, Ontario’s provincial animal welfare services has inspected Marineland 160 times. In 2021, it said all of Marineland’s marine animals were in distress because of the quality of the water and ordered the park to make improvements."
