Qatar Airways assists in stranded whales rescue in Canada
Qatar Airways successfully transported the first group of pilot whales that were stranded at Marineland in Canada, as part of an international effort to rescue 30 whales. After the park's closure and the failure of long-term care efforts, six whales aged between 6 and 40 years old, measuring up to 16 feet in length, were moved aboard a Boeing 777 specially equipped for transporting marine animals. Prior to the flight, veterinary examinations were conducted, and special containers filled with cold water were used to ensure their safety during the journey. The whales arrived at their new homes in the Chicago Aquarium and SeaWorld in San Antonio, aimed at helping them integrate and adapt to their new environment after facing the threat of euthanasia due to the financial crisis that Marineland encountered following allegations of animal abuse.
