A second beluga whale has died at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium after being transferred from Marineland in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This follows the death of another beluga whale received in the same shipment. The aquarium confirmed the latest death but has not yet released details regarding the cause. These deaths raise concerns about the well-being of the belugas transported from Marineland and the conditions of their relocation. Animal welfare advocates are calling for increased scrutiny of the transfer process and the health of the remaining whales. The Shedd Aquarium initially took in several belugas from Marineland, a facility that has faced criticism regarding animal care. Investigations into the deaths are ongoing, with officials seeking to determine if the transfer contributed to the whales’ demise.
