Help us support the Marineland Canada animals. Our Emergency Animal Shelter App (EASApp) is being used to document the care of animals that remain at Marineland Canada.
DARTCC, Cultivate Wellbeing, and several dedicated partner organizations are working together to support the vulnerable animals still at Marineland Canada. We are dedicatedly working to uncover the exact animal count and health status of each animal stranded in Marineland. We are also reaching out to the community to forensically explore the health of animals that have recently been transferred out of Marineland to other facilities.
DARTCC will publish a comprehensive Animal Tracking Report every two weeks.
These reports will maintain public awareness and ensure transparency in this critical work. This vital data is also available to other organizations and governmental groups working toward the rescue and rehabilitation of the Marineland animals.
To receive these reports directly, click this button to sign up for email updates. 
We urgently need your financial support.
These animals cannot tell us about their experience, but we can carefully observe and track behavior and medical statuses to better understand how we can advocate for their wellbeing.
Every dollar helps us understand the immediate and pressing needs of the animals at Marineland Canada. Please give if you can. Your donation is a direct investment in the evidence needed to save a life.

Subject: Care & Action for Marineland Animals
My name is [Your Name]. I am deeply distressed over the current situation of the animals at Marineland and am asking for immediate provincial intervention.
I know Premier Ford has publicly expressed concern for these animals; I am now asking him to exercise his existing regulatory authority to authorize the transfer of animals to confirmed care placements to ensure they have the life they deserve after so much hardship.

Hostage Negotiation vs. Healthcare - 2/2/2026
As veterinary professionals, we must be clear: It is deeply concerning that Marineland has implied it could direct veterinarians to euthanize cetaceans in the absence of individual medical justification. Euthanasia is a medical intervention, not an administrative tool.
