Santos files countersuit

A former Marineland worker has filed a counter suit against the Niagara Falls attraction.

Marineland served former animal trainer Christine Santos with a $1.25 million lawsuit last month — over what it said are false accusations of animal neglect. The suit alleges Christine Santos — who had worked at Marineland for 12 years before being fired last October — made false claims to the media about the abuse and neglect of Kiska, the orca whale, and then refused to retract her comments when confronted by the company.
