A Canadian amusement park is threatening to euthanise 30 beluga whales after the government blocked its request to send them to China.

The park is said to have told ministers that it was in a "critical financial state" and unable to provide adequate care for the whales

Zoos are necessary and should only contain animals that do not show signs of stress when in captivity, the fact is people don't protect what they don't love and they don't love what they don't know. This is one of the only ways to get people engaged with conservation.

this one sucks though.
