Death of Chicago belugas shouldn't automatically rule out belugas for Montreal, says Giraldeau

The death last week of two of the four beluga whales transported recently from Hudson Bay to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago once again raises the question of animal welfare versus public education. Aquariums like to have small whales, such as areas and belugas, for research and for public education: once people appreciate the animals up close, they will have a greater desire to protect them in the wild, goes the belief. Given what happened in Chicago, should Montreal go ahead with its plan to have belugas at the Biodome? Luc-Alain Giraldeau, Professor of Behavioural Ecology, says yes, provided there is not undue suffering to the animals, and there is proof that belugas would a affect Montrealers understanding of nature's diversity and fragility.

"There's no question that keeping a whale in an aquarium does not benefit the individual animal, but it may generate respect from the public, which can help whales PHOTO: Edmund Wong as a group. In the case of the beluga, whose Arctic population is not threatened (unlike TESL administrator Marlene Gross and TESL Director Ron Mackay provide crucial service. the Saguenay population), it may be worth the stress of captivity of a few animals if it means the public can be sensitized to the value of this animaL Testing services.

Rector begins ceremony on sombre note Two new scholarships honour students who have died Ceremony gives out more than 200 awards

rbara Black

The annual Undergraduate Scholarships Induction Ceremony began on a sombre note last Wednesday, when Rector Patrick Kenniff announced that Phoivos Ziogas, Chair of the Department of Mechanical En­ gineering, had died of gunshot wounds only a few hours before. There were more moments of sadness during the evening. At the brief ceremony, held this year in the Alumni Auditorium (H-110) of the Henry F. Hall Building, new scholarships and awards are traditionally introduced and presented. Two of the schol­ arships inducted this year honoured the memory of Concordia students who have recently died.
