Sign the petition to stop abuse at Marineland!
In extensive interviews with the Toronto Star, eight former Marineland staffers describe a pattern of neglect that has repeatedly resulted in animal suffering.
What the public doesn’t see is the deterioration of marine mammals that become sick, suffer fur loss, skin damage and even blindness because of recurring water problems, they say.
They also point to chronic staffing shortages that leave trainers unable to provide a minimum standard of care for animals to do well in captivity.
One trainer recalls how animals often squinted at trainers and struggled to perform after chlorine spikes in the stadium pool.
Poor conditions drove some of the eight former employees to leave and were a major factor in the departure of others.

It breaks my heart to hear about what goes on behind closed doors! We will not be going to visit Marineland again.

I am pleased you took the time to bring it to my attention…..I heard on the radio this morning that the lady whose voice is used for the radio ads has asked to have her voice removed. I hope it is not too late for these dear animals.

Wow, it’s crazy that people have no problem speaking out about anything, but when it comes to animal rights these issues start getting uncomfortable for people. People can easily speak out for dogs and cats and people appreciate you for it, but if it’s really any animal that extends beyond a pet, then that’s when issues start. Thank you for this information on the news radio woman. It shocks me that people feel so uncomfortable standing up for none human individuals. Thank you everyone else for signing and choosing other family trips that do not include animals. Thank you!

They were stolen from a land of ice and snow
Deprived of their freedom so we can put on a show
Reach out, touch, give us your money
We’ll make a new customer for a long while
You’ll never know when we’ll brainwash you back again
So come on raise your wallets
Artic Shame, Marine land
Everyone
Everyone
Everyone boycotts Marine Land
Lame little parody I made. But this isn’t fair. Taking away ones freedom for profit. Let’s make a change in this world. Who’s with me?
