Marineland beluga whales remain at the center of a heated national debate after Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans denied the park’s request to export 30 whales to a marine theme park in China. In this episode, Andrew Lewin explores the unfolding crisis, from the park’s claims of financial hardship to the legal, ethical, and political questions surrounding the whales’ future.

Marineland beluga whales could face an uncertain fate as the park warns it may not be able to care for them, raising the specter of euthanasia. Andrew breaks down government responses, animal welfare group actions, and emerging relocation proposals including the Nova Scotia Whale Sanctuary Project and Inuit-led plans. This episode unpacks the clash between law, profit, and responsibility while asking the essential question: who should ensure the whales’ welfare?
