Wilfred P. Moore KC (born January 14, 1942) is a Canadian lawyer and politician. From 1996 until his retirement in 2017, he represented Nova Scotia in the Senate of Canada. In the Senate, Moore successfully fought to ban the captivity of cetaceans, introducing a bill in 2015 that went on to become the Ending the Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act. This act became law in 2019 after Moore's retirement.[1][2]
