“Harming the innocent is gutless; and that’s why I’m bringing my fight to the bullies,” said Phil Demers, animal cruelty whistlebower.
Marineland Canada is a marine life theme park in Niagara Falls, Ontario. They have everything from amusement rides and zoos to an aquarium. The aquarium keeps dolphins, sea lions, orcas and other marine animals in captivity for entertainment purposes.
The park depicts an image of fun, care and love for their animals. Although the park claims that the animals are kept for entertainment and educational purposes, a former employee of the corporation has called out Marineland on grounds of animal cruelty. He’s been fighting against the big entertainment company for the last decade with the hope to stop animal cruelty and let some animals free, and recently, he won.
Demers, a former marine mammal trainer turned Marineland animal abuse whistleblower, was set to go on trial on Oct. 3, 2022 against the company. Marineland Canada has sued Demers on accusations of him plotting to steal one of their animals, as well as other allegations.
However, on Sept. 20, 2022, Phil Demers tweeted that after a decade-long lawsuit against him, Marineland Canada has settled matters without any costs. Demers had fulfilled his decade-long goal and won the war against Marineland. There will be no trial in October.
Demers has been given lots of names through the years, however he prefers the title: “whistleblower.”
