加拿大以动物福利关切和禁止将鲸鱼和海豚用于娱乐和囚禁的2019年法律为由,拒绝海洋land公司将其剩余的30只白鲸出口到中国的Chimeloong海洋王国的请求。 Canada has denied Marineland’s request to export its 30 remaining beluga whales to China’s Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, citing animal welfare concerns and a 2019 law banning the use of whales and dolphins in entertainment and captivity. 渔业部长乔安妮·汤普森(Joanne Thompson)表示, 决定反映了政府的立场:鲸鱼属于海洋, Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson stated the decision reflects the government’s stance that whales belong in the ocean, not in tanks for shows. 这项行动防止将白鲸转移到一个根据加拿大严格的动物福利标准被认为不合适的设施。 The move prevents the transfer of the belugas to a facility deemed unsuitable under Canada’s strict animal welfare standards. 海洋陆地表示失望,称搬迁是鲸鱼在2024年金融斗争和公园关闭期间唯一可行的照顾办法。 Marineland expressed disappointment, calling the relocation the only viable option for the whales’ care amid financial struggles and the park’s closure in 2024. 自2019年以来,有20头鲸鱼在尼亚加拉瀑布设施死亡。 Since 2019, 20 whales have died at the Niagara Falls facility. 联邦政府强调不会批准使囚禁或剥削长期存在的出口。 The federal government emphasized it will not approve exports that perpetuate captivity or exploitation.
