Fourteen whales and a dolphin have died at the park since 2019

The Ontario government is facing more pressure to take action at Marineland.

Politicians and activists are calling for more transparency about the province's work at the tourist spot.

Since 2019,14 of its whales and a dolphin have died there.

Ontario's Animal Welfare Services has been inspecting Marineland since 2020, however Solicitor General Michael Kerzner has refused to provide details of the investigation.

The group Animal Justice says it's disappointed that there haven't been any major changes after the deaths were made public.

Marineland has not responded to requests for comment.
