It was October 7th, 2012 at Marineland Canada's final day of the season when over 800 activists came together and made a stand against Captivity!

Ontario and Nation wide laws for animals and especially Marine animals are really non-existent. So many are preparing action to get the laws changed to protect the animals behind Marineland gates and many other roadside zoos within Ontario and nationwide.

The first video you all want to watch is the activists storming the gates of Marineland that has hit media around the world

When the activists and concerned citizens stormed the gates by just a large mass of over 200 people "Walked" through the gates in a peaceful manner chanting "SHUT IT DOWN!" The owner John Holer got into his truck and drove off. The mass then continued down the path to the Dolphin Show that was currently going on and the people sitting watching the show started to be exited out the stadium on the far side resulting in the stadium to be filled with signs saying "Marineland Abusement Park" and "Not Everyone Loves Marineland" throughout! The chanting never stopped going from "Shut it down!" to "No Excuse for Animal Abuse". Then the police arrived announcing if your protesting to leave or be arrested.

One girl was arrested and fined $65 but if you look at this video the one Niagara Regional Police was not professional in his actions and literally came up and aggressively pushed the girl prior to the handcuffs being placed on her wrists.

Immediately after the activists came back to the planned event outside the gates a former Marineland entertainer placed down his ghetto blaster and dressed in spandex with his name across his clothing saying "Spandy Andy" started to dance and captured the crowd's energy!

The amazing dance celebration immediately after the storming of the gates was looking like a music video until the Niagara Regional Police came through the crowd and started to shut down the ghetto blaster and remove Spandy Andy from entertaining!

This event was organized by Marineland Animal Defense (M.A.D.) that started to focus very closely on everything Marineland was doing the past couple years. The days events showed how well it was organized with an itinerary of when musicians and speakers were to be at the main area.

Below are some speakers and musicians that helped make this day a success! Please check them out!

Many singers were at the event like Ariana Gillis. I was not able to find any video footage of her singing an original inspired by the movie The Cove but here is the song filmed by herself.
