>2 Belugas just died in captivity at that aquarium -it wasn't environmentalists who killed them, it was the aquarium.

Considering that the last report confirmed that the Belugas had been poisoned by a foreign substance, I wouldn't be so confident in that statement.

Well, what it said was they died from a toxin from an unknown source. http://bc.ctvnews.ca/vancouver-belugas-died-by-toxin-from-un...

One interpretation of that could be they were intentionally poisoned.

I just find it to be a lot of smoke hanging around for nothing to be burning.

These whales had been living in that pool for years and had even given birth without issue. Seems rather strange timing to all of a sudden have a mystery 'toxin' bring two of them down, particularly with the pool testing clean after their deaths.
