The province’s Animal Welfare Services has been investigating Marineland since it took over animal cruelty enforcement in 2020.
“The ministry is aware of the death of a beluga whale and a sea lion at Marineland,” Brent Ross, a spokesman with the Ministry of the Solicitor General, wrote in an email.
Since January 2020, Marineland has made the ministry aware of the deaths of 14 beluga whales, one orca, one bottlenose dolphin, one harbour seal, one grey seal and two California sea lions, Ross added.
Marineland did not respond to a request for comment.
Marineland says on its website that it has a “strong record” of providing for the welfare of its animals and will “continue to prioritize their health and well-being.”
The office of Solicitor General Michael Kerzner, which oversees the ministry in charge of Animal Welfare Services, said the province is a leader in the protection of animals.
“AWS continues to conduct compliance inspections at Marineland to determine if the standards of care are being met,” Hunter Kell, Kerzner’s spokesman, wrote in an email.
