Canada is officially phasing out the era of captive whales, dolphins, and porpoises for entertainment purposes.
The Ending the Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act (Bill S-203) marked a fundamental advancement in marine mammal welfare. By amending the Criminal Code and Fisheries Act, the legislation prohibits:
- Capturing cetaceans from the wild.
- Breeding them in captivity.
- Keeping them for public display or entertainment.
Exceptions are allowed for rehabilitation, scientific research (under strict licensing), or cases where release is not feasible. A grandfather clause permits facilities to retain animals already in captivity at the time of enactment—ensuring these are the final generation held in tanks for such purposes. It also bans the trade of reproductive materials, closing potential loopholes for sustaining the industry.
Beyond the immediate ban, the law prohibits the trade of reproductive materials, closing loopholes that could sustain the industry. The focus has now shifted toward compassionate retirement, with major initiatives underway to relocate the remaining captive whales to natural coastal sanctuaries in provinces like Nova Scotia by 2026. These efforts, supported by animal rights advocates and scientists, aim to provide a more natural environment for these sentient beings while allowing for essential research and rehabilitation under strict licensing.

I remember the day ~27 years ago when I first learned that inhalation experiments—where beagles are violently forced breathe toxic gas through masks like this—were a real thing.
I thought it was science fiction.
These were the same dogs who wake us up with licks to the face. The same pups who beg us for hugs even when we're disheveled, stinky, or just an emotional wreck. The same dogs who are so happy to see us, when we've been gone a couple hours, that they jump up and down or cry when we get back home.
The same pups who will die, thrashing in agony, because of a sick and often illegal experiment.
I didn't believe it was real.
But it is more than real. It's happening to thousands of dogs. And the nation's biggest provisioner of this torture is just a short distance from the nation's biggest city: Marshall BioResources in New York.
My friend @AndyMasley just posted that the more you read about animal abuse, the more it just starts to make you feel crazy. He's right. But there's a way out of that madness.
It's rescue. We have to get these poor pups out. And here is the thing:
We are going to do it.
Good morning, WangWang community from around the world. ❤️
It’s been encouraging to wake up and see so many more posts about her overnight. It’s clear that our voices haven’t gone silent they’re getting louder every day.
Thank you to everyone who continues to speak up, share her story, and keep the momentum going. Every post, every share, and every conversation helps ensure she is not forgotten.
Let’s keep standing together and carry on. Our collective voice matters, and together we can make a difference.

SILENT KILL: Pops was killed by @NYCACC today, day 5. Never listed, age unknown. They even listed sex as unknown on Lost & Found Record. Is he a Pops? Old? Everything is unknown. No accountability, no transparency, no faith in their actions @NYCHealthCommandr @nycHealthy
Just a reminder that the ONLY Republican running for Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC) District 1 dropped out of the race...
...BECAUSE NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS ARRESTED FOR FIRING SHOTS AT HIS HOME WHILE HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE!!!!!
Local police SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMED the attack was targeted at Aaron Marin.
Bullet holes can be seen in trees, cars, mailbox, and his kid's basketball hoop. Marin's ENTIRE FAMILY was forced to leave their home and Aaron says they live in, "constant fear."
He says his kids no longer even feel safe to play outside and they are moving away.
CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY ZERO MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET COVERED THIS??????!!!!!!
REPUBLICANS ARE LITERALLY BEING SHOT AT AND THERE IS SILENCE FROM THE MEDIA!!!!!!
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!!!!!!
Remember when President Trump told us about Hydroxychloroquine and how it was very effective for “Covid” and the fake news mafia twisted every word he said. He also talked about Ivermectin as well.
Anyone telling the truth was censored, mocked and shamed.
They are all complicit in CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
Many still don’t understand what President Trump was fighting. The bio weapon was ALREADY PLANNED AND CREATED. This enemy wanted us STILL, right now, wearing masks and force vaccinated. We would STILL be on lockdown with limited freedom. Yes, STILL TODAY.
They knew many Americans were brainwashed to believe a vaccine would make us safe. President Trump forced the release of it EARLY as it was coming anyway. He tried to tell Americans there was a cure.
He never mandated the vaccine. He needed the country to open immediately or our country would no longer exist. Imagine us still on lockdown. Our country would have fallen and the death and destruction would have been incalculable.
Everyone had a choice. Many said no way. Many were forced or they would lose their job. Many cheerfully and proudly took it and boasted about it with an arrogance that was shocking to me. It’s a war. A war for humanity.
This isn’t about if you did or didn’t take the bioweapon, it’s to UNDERSTAND WHAT PDJT WAS UP AGAINST.
These monsters used Covid as a way to bring in mail in ballots and help overthrow the United States Government. These demons used Covid to depopulate the world with their bioweapon disguised as a vaccine.
Listen to how the media tried so hard to make Trump look bad. ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!
The truth WILL BE KNOWN.
THEY DO NOT GET AWAY WITH IT. ✝️
Just a reminder that when I called out the Mayor of Compton for her inactions towards animal welfare in her district, instead of commenting on what she plans on doing, she blocked me. And then a couple of days ago when I went to the office of Karen Bass to see who could help the dogs on Skid Row, they called the police because I had ashes of a dog that died on Skid Row. Are we sensing a trend on how failed and corrupt leadership is in Southern California yet?
The unvaccinated were the most hated people on Earth. They lost their jobs. Friends and families disowned them. They were reported and arrested. Society treated them like lepers…and 7 years later…it turns out that they were right about everything…
PSA: One of the torturers, mutilators and murderer of Wang Wang and her puppies, Zhong Sixin, pictured in the close-up, has apparently changed his name to "Zhong Zehao", or is going to.
I hear their family may also flee from China to another country? The heat on them certainly isn't dying down like they expected.
I would suggest that you EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU contact the immigration departments in your respective countries with details of these boys, their familes and what they did to Wang Wang and other animals in their village to BARR them from entry into your country.

5 years ago Bill Gates told the world that people had “no choice” avoiding the COVID shot, claiming the unvaxxed would “endanger their grandparents” & the vaxxed were 100% protected.
Every single claim was false. All of it. And he walked away without a single punishment.
