The Ontario government says it plans to beef up regulations to protect animals kept in zoos and aquariums, including Marineland.
Community Safety Minister Madeleine Meilleur made the announcement in a statement this morning ahead of a noon news conference.
She says the province will work with animal experts and other stakeholders to come up with standards for caring for captive animals.

One way to get the help for the mammals at marineland in niagara falls… is to get rid of John Holer as owner of Marineland…. He is a rude, ignorant man who takes pleasure in abusing the mammals..
