Georgia Aquarium's Beluga Whale Capture Comes Under Fire

Controversy is brewing over the Georgia Aquarium's plan to import 18 beluga whales captured off the coast of Russia. According to the aquarium, the whales are needed for research and education. According to animal welfare advocates, that doesn't justify the harm inflicted on intelligent, emotional creatures unsuited for captivity.
