I believe belugas have tendencies to move to different pods. They would interact with wild belugas, and how could they possibly understand the consequences/differences of interacting or following other belugas?
The odds of their survival in the wild are against them. Marineland can’t afford to feed them, it would be more than 10x that cost to train them to have a chance of survival in the wild. Marineland can’t afford to humanely release them into the wild.

Is it crueler than euthanizing them? They don’t have a chance of survival?
