"The belugas & other animals at Marineland deserve to live. A legal system that allows them to be killed because it is economically convenient is one that needs to change." — Maneesha Deckha, Professor & Lansdowne Chair in law, University of Victoria

In the 1990s, the Atlantic cod fishery collapsed and was then banned by the Canadian government. Cod numbers still haven’t fully recovered, but new analysis reveals that harp seal predation is only part of a larger ecological problem.

wildlife.org/are-harp-sea... "The recovery of both cod and harp seals—and likely other oceanic creatures as well—depends on the recovery of capelin in the North Atlantic and a more resilient ecosystem. The question is if—and how—that will occur."

“People are waking up to the fact that putting a whale in a glass jar is just about as cruel as it gets,” says Phil Demers, who worked for 12 years as a senior trainer at Canada’s MarineLand. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Plastics are not only a primary marine pollutant but a significant driver of the climate crisis. Mangrove propagules found during ocean plastic recovery tie our cleanup, wetland restoration, and coral protection efforts together–mangroves capture carbon and lower acidification. #WetlandWednesday

Mike Moser, former Director of Standards for the International Fur Federation and former Chief Executive for the British Fur Trade: “There’s no doubt about it, fur farms are hideous places.”

The True Cost of Fur shows EU fur industry in serious decline. In the last decade, the number of animals killed for fur is down 86%, number of fur farms is down by 73% & value of sales is down 92%. There’s no future in fur. We call on @ec.europa.eu to end cruel fur farming for good

Marineland should be permanently shut down and all the animals safely rehoused or preferably released into the wild. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Marineland asks Ottawa for emergency cash to feed whales — or euthanasia imminent

After decades of profiting from cruelty, Marineland is threatening to kill its 30 remaining whales 💔 It's time for Ontario to step in to protect the whales & send Marineland the bill! @camillelabchuk.bsky.social: “Marineland has a moral obligation to fund the future care of these animals.” ⬇️

‼️Please sign‼️ A historic cosmetics testing ban is crumbling. Across Europe, rabbits, rats, fish, and other animals are used in cruel cosmetics tests under the pretext of the EU chemicals regulation. Demand that officials change the law now! petauk.org/45r

3/This despicable cruelty also creates panic in the colony. Now, these seals are also suffering from rabies. The government needs to stop slaughtering them and instead, start a vaccination program to protect them from rabies. Take action today! impactinbox.org/emails/email...

2/Until now, there was no hard evidence that rabies was infecting the Cape fur seals of Namibia. These herds are subjected to a cruel massacre that is happening every morning, in which nursing pups are separated from their mothers, corralled together and beaten and stabbed to death.

🧵Cape fur seals have been infected with rabies in South Africa for some time. Some Cape fur seals in South Africa have been vaccinated against rabies to prevent the spread of the deadly disease. We advocate for a larger vaccination program. www.aquarium.co.za/.../working-....

🐳 BREAKING: #Marineland has applied to export all of its remaining belugas to a theme park in China—where there are NO animal protection laws. The belugas could be bred or used in shows, which are ILLEGAL under Canadian law. Take action! ➡️ bit.ly/4nhHEsC #CdnPoli

Meet Lupe the Fur Seal, Frontier’s new A321NX! The Guadalupe or “Lupe” fur seal is more closely related to sea lions than true seals and share with them external ears, long and muscular foreflippers, and the ability to walk on all fours. 🔽
