Whale's death may kill Sealand VANCOUVER (CP) Sealand of the Pacific, which closed Sunday after the sudden death of killer whale Haida, its star attraction, may never reopen despite "overwhelming public support," a company official said Wednesday. Sealand manager Angus Matthews blamed the layoff of 21 employees and the possible demise of the popular, if controversial, Victoria institution on unfair criticism from environmentalists and the media. "At this stage it's questionable whether we will ever re-open," said Matthews in a telephone interview.

"I think the public believes in what we're. doing, but who needs the hassle?" Haida, a 22-year-old, six-tonne orca, had been the open-air aquarium's star attraction for 14 years. More than 700,000 people flocked each year to the Victoria suburb of Oak Bay to see him go through his paces. The gentle, black-and-white whale died just three days after a federal permit to release him on a hotly debated whale -exchange program expired. An autopsy revealed the whale died of a bacterial infection.

The federal permit still allowed Sealand to attempt to capture at least one replacement whale before the end of year. However, Haida's death scotched that program and drew calls from Greenpeace, an environmental organization, for an independent inquiry. Greenpeace opposes the keeping of whales in captivity. "Greenpeace didn't win, Sealand lost," the bitter Matthews said. "Sealand lost because of Haida's health.

It's certainly no Greenpeace victory." Only Matthews and the head trainer would continue to work at Sealand and look after the institution's 184 other marine animals, including seals and sea lions.
