CFIA investigates removal of over 300 deer from Marineland

A federal food safety agency has spent months examining how deer were taken from the Niagara Falls, Ont. attraction amid unanswered questions about their fate.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has been conducting a months-long investigation into the removal of more than 300 deer kept at Marineland, the Niagara Falls, Ont. amusement park and marine mammal facility.

The probe centres on allegations related to how the animals were taken from the site, though details about the deer's current whereabouts and condition remain unclear. Marineland has faced repeated scrutiny in recent years over the welfare of animals in its care.

Few additional details have been released publicly about the scope of the CFIA's findings or when the investigation is expected to conclude.
