Aquarium did all it could to save the beluga whales | Chicago Tribune

Chicago's Shedd Aquarium performed a dramatic rescue of 10 beluga whales from Marineland of Canada, located in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The facility from which the whales were saved is widely despised and currently facing imminent liquidation. The Shedd Aquarium likely anticipated that this significant rescue operation would serve as a major public relations boon for the institution, highlighting its commitment to animal welfare and the preservation of these marine mammals during a critical transition.
