A Beluga and a Dolphin Died Within Weeks of Leaving Marineland. The Aquarium Says the Condition May Have Predated the Move

Oceanogràfic València said in an Oct. 14 news release that a beluga whale and a dolphin which died within weeks of being transferred out of Marineland had been experiencing a list of health complications and organ abnormalities that could have developed before the transfer. That conditional is the whole argument. The statement doesn't date the illness to the animals' new home, and it doesn't clear the move either — it keeps the earlier possibility open while two deaths sit close enough to the transfer to invite a causal reading.
