Yes

2. The Canadian government will not allow Marineland to export its whales to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, citing a 2019 law banning whales and dolphins in entertainment or captivity. Since 2019, 20 whales—one killer whale and 19 belugas—have died at the Niagara Falls attraction.

Do you agree with Canada's decision to NOT sign off on the export?

Yes – protecting the whales is the right choice

No – they should be allowed to relocate if it benefits the animals
