Zoo News 9.25.26 - A Deep Dive into the MarineLand Belugas and Dolphins
Dateline September 25, 2026: Today's episode is a deep dive into the legislation that stopped allowing cetaceans in human care, and the absolute failures of the Canadian government and the "empty the tanks" movement to help the animals further than passing that law. We look into the animals that have moved to SeaWorld San Antonio, SeaWorld San Diego, The Georgia Aquarium, Shedd Aquarium, and Oceanografica Valencia, and the health issues and deaths that have occurred since those animals were moved. Why did this happen? What could have been done better? We dig deep to find the answers.
