Marineland:


I went to Marineland on the weekend. I saw the buluga wales, deer, sealions, walruses and dolphins. I watched the show and pet the deer. I really like to see the buluga wales but the dolphins are my favourite. I also liked the to see the man swimming with the dolphins that pretty funny. It was fun to see the man let the dolphins into the big pool during the show. I had a good day at Marineland. I really want to go back another day.

i want to go there some day. the commercialz look fun... and I get the song stuk in my head!

i went there on a school trip(gr.3) it was totally awsome! i loved the roller coaster!

I wanted to go but my friend didt she says they dont feed there animals

I don`t like Marine Land `cause they put huge animals(whales) in realy small spaces.

I hate marineland. They give the animals such small cages! They can hardly move! Poor deer! It makes me sad for those poor creatures! (I'm a veggie!)

I luv Marineland!! espesially sky screamer and dragon mounatian .-there the best part.llol and i will never forget how lovable the creatures that are there are! i luv u marineland!!

i would never go there, whales are mistreated, deers are mistreated etc and animals have small living spaces

I used to love Marineland.. have gone every summer for the past 3 years.
However, every year I've gone, I've seen less and less animals. It's a waste of money, and a terrible thing to see. When I went last summer, the dolphins were gone (except for the main show - they also had their own show before), the killer whales weren't doing anything at all, a few of the bears were injured and limping, and all the animals they used to have (reindeer, buffalo, etc.) at the far end of the park were gone. It's sad to see and I felt I wasted my money supporting a place that seems to lose their animals.

ashley, they are losing their animals because they are dying in captivity. it's important for everyone to know that these beautiful and intelligent creatures belong in the wild, not doing tricks for human entertainment. There are better things to spend your money on and to do with your time. Please watch the documentary "The Cove" to see how these animals are captured, sold and the rest slaughtered just for places like Marineland and SeaWorld.

WATCH THE MOVIE THE COVE NOW!!

I remember going to Marineland as a kid. Back then, I knew nothing about how intelligent dolphins and whales are. After watching movies like The Cove, I now understand that it is torture to keep highly intelligent animals in confined spaces. When you visit Marineland you are supporting cruelty. The government will not shut down these facilities, but YOU have a choice in the matter. How can a developed country like Canada allow Marineland to remain open?
