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

    It reportedly said this was “a direct consequence of the minister’s decision”.

    Well sure, but who the hell thought it was a good idea to have 30 captive whales is the first place?

    Maybe 3 or 4, if they are permanently injured and can’t live without human assistance.
