# The Marineland Sea Life Park in Niagara Falls has threatened to euthanise 30 whales after the Canadian government denied a permit to send them to China. The park is up for sale and wants the 30 belugas to go to the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in the Guangdong province. It says China is the “only viable option”, since it can no longer afford to pay for their feeding or care. Beluga whales live in the Arctic in the wild and are known as “the canary of the sea” due to their chirps, clicks, whistles and squeals.
