The leaders of Ontario's main political parties pledged Monday to help the remaining animals at Marineland should they win the election.
The Niagara Falls, Ont., tourist attraction euthanized a seven-year-old beluga whale last week after a lengthy battle with numerous medical issues. It is the 18th beluga whale to die at the park since late 2019.
Marineland has long defended its treatment of animals at the park, saying the deaths are part of the cycle of life.
