At least, that seems to be what Vancouver Aquarium's headline-grabbing suggestion that activists poisoned its whales was designed to have you do.
Unable to pinpoint a specific cause for the deaths of their last two remaining belugas, the aquarium was left to speculate. And speculate they did, deftly pointing their finger at the critics of whale captivity that have been an ever-present thorn in their side.
Then, perhaps just to make it all seem a little more real, they stated that police had been contacted in the matter.
It was a possibility, the aquarium was keen to emphasize, that they weren't ruling out.
Except, there was never any evidence for it.
There have been over 40 whales and dolphins die at the aquarium over the years, not one of them caused by a murderous gang of animal lovers.
