Are there Killer Whales in Ontario anywhere other than Marine Land?

No. MarineLand and the Vancouver Aquarium are the only two facilities in Canada that keep orcas in captivity.

Why are mammals given this special consideration? I've read that cephalopods are extremely intelligent, yet admittedly tasty.

Those things are time bombs. You never know when they'll severely injure or even kill a human being. I saw the CNN documentary on them, and they freaked me out. Those orca shows should be banned.

That is a very fun video, yet so accurate.

It is much better than the third segment of The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror XI, which featured dolphins in captivity.

Parts of HumanWorld was filmed in the French Marineland, not to be confused with a controversial theme park in Niagara Falls.
