Marineland: Environment ministry launches probe into mass animal graves

[Locutus]

The provincial Environment Ministry is poised this week for a sweeping inspection of Marineland’s mass graves of animals — graves it had no idea existed because the park has no permits.

The Niagara Falls tourist attraction has dug pits for decades to dispose of its animals, using heavy machinery to cover them up, according to former staffers.

There are four mass graves, two of them containing “more than 1,000 animals,” said Marineland’s former land animal supervisor Jim Hammond.

Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

How embarrassing for @torontostar journalists that they work with editors who cannot distinguish between some dead seals and GENOCIDE.

Oh God when do the vigils begin to remember the souls of a thousand unknown animals?
I knew a guy who owned a backhoe once and buried any number on horses right on farms
will that make the news some day? As yourself, is this really news? Personally its a lot
better to bury these animals than to leave them scattered about the zoo or the park or for
that matter the street. Give me a break.
