Ontario SPCA Surprise Inspection of Marineland Confirms No Sign of Abuse, Distress, Mistreatment or Neglect of Animals at Marineland Canada
NIAGARA FALLS, ON, Aug. 17, 2017 /CNW/ - The Ontario SPCA confirmed after a surprise inspection of Marineland Canada on August 16, 2017 that there were no signs of abuse, distress, mistreatment or neglect of any animals in Marineland's care including: black bears, elk, red deer, fallow deer or guinea hens.
In November 2016 and January 2017, the OSPCA laid a series of questionable charges against Marineland. Those charges were entirely withdrawn by the Crown Attorney who did not believe any of them met the legal threshold to warrant a trial.
Yesterday's inspection further confirms Marineland's total innocence to all allegations made by discredited activists and to the recently withdrawn charges laid by the OSPCA that Marineland has categorized as 'bizarre'.
The OSPCA claimed to Marineland that there is no relationship between their surprise visit and the Crown's decision. The OSPCA confirmed their surprise inspection was not the result of a complaint made against Marineland. The OSPCA also confirmed full cooperation and full access to the entire park was provided by Marineland Canada.
Despite frequently false allegations made by discredited activists regarding marine mammal care at Marineland, the OSPCA further confirmed there are no signs of abuse, distress, mistreatment or neglect of any marine mammal species. This includes our beluga and walrus populations which are frequently subjected to false allegations spread by activists who fundraise off of their lies about Marineland.
None of the allegations made by activists against Marineland have been verified by any objective review of facts and reality. Marineland has consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellent care for all of the animals who call Marineland home.
Marineland welcomes continued inspections by the OSPCA and remains focused on ensuring that we provide the best quality care to our animals while creating a welcoming, educational environment for the guests who visit our park each year.
