Results: Marineland Rumored to Close

Multiple sources report that controversial zoo and amusement park Marineland will close permanently, stating that the aquatic-themed attraction in Niagara Falls has begun laying off employees en masse. Former Marineland trainer Phil Demers reported on Saturday that Marineland was pulling the plug after 63 years in business. The reported closure rumour comes just weeks after the park was found guilty of animal cruelty charges. Demers, who has been an outspoken critic of the park since resigning in 2012, reported that Marineland "employees are being laid off and informed that the park will no longer operate." While this statement remains unconfirmed by the park as of Monday morning, critics of the controversial tourist draw are already celebrating the possible end of a park that has been plagued by allegations of animal abuse and increasing scrutiny from welfare organizations for years.
