From the Globe and Mail:
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.. There has been way too many complaints about this so called owner…. for example Junior who was kept in a cement pool in one of the buildings…. the poor whale became lethargic and appeared beaten until his death in 1994… Holer has no right to have any mammals in his possession…
