It does look as though they have been rescued, they are however in sea pen somewhere off Turkey.

Yes Madmart - they are in a sea pen while they are being rehabilitated by experts so they can be released back to the wild where they belong.

At the moment they are still unable to catch and eat live fish themselves and this is part of the rehabilitation training process.

Nowhere did I say that anyone should use or not use these operators, I was merely trying to post some good news and an update.

We have used Seaside Tours in the past but in the future we shall not, as I too have stronmg feelings about animal cruelty. We also had misgivings after the incident last summer with them selling wild water rides to under age children.

So glad you have decided not to book any tours in the future with Seaside Tours.:D:D
My conversation with him last August was to be seen and to be heard.  He was only out to make an extra lira!
One thing I should remind everybody is that if you book a trip or a tour you could end up on one of their transports!:(

What is remarkable about the Seaside episode is that not only did they sell tickets for white water rafting to a family who's children were underage for it (and one child tragically lost her life) but weeks later did the same again when The Guardian went undercover to see if they had learned their lesson.

Sorry, but that is cash above any morals and I'll never give them a penny, ever.

I dont think you need to say sorry for having morals and principles. These people should have had their business shut down and hopefully this will happen eventually.
