Are belugas destined to go extinct in US facilities?

Noticed that American Humane revoked its accreditation to Miami Seaquarium and the AZA delisted the facility from its Pathway Towards Membership program. However MSQ still proudly waves its AMMPA banner. AMMPA claims to hold inspections every five years, but they don't state when their last...- J-K

Oreo's cause of death is listed as hypovolemic shock, yet she wasn't pregnant, which means she probably suffered a traumatic incident. Does anyone know what happened...- TheAmurTiger
