Ölüdeniz to get its first dolphinarium

And keeping dolphins captive at resorts or aquatic parks is akin to torture, says Dr Horace Dobbs, founder and honorary director of International Dolphin Watch, as it separates these sociable animals from their pods. "It would be like locking me in a lavatory. We should respect [dolphins] in the same way that we respect other people."

Was won back millions of cute dolphins show, to nature inconsistent and unhealthy living conditions. Especially the situation in Turkey show centers not any brighter. Especially in a show last month in the center of Alanya in a row of four dolphins to die, European civil society organizations mobilized.

Just found this on the Facebook site

After the meeting yesterday it had been suggested that there would be a follow-up meeting next wednesday, however, have just been advised that this will NOT be taking place. Can't afford to take our eyes 'off the ball' or I reckon we'll be playing straight into their hands.

What on earth is going on?????

From what I can see the only way this dolphinarium will close will be if tourists do not pay out a lot of cash to go into it. The reason it is being opened is for a profit and if one is not forthcoming it will soon close. Let us hope that the British tourists who bring a lot of business to the town decide a visit to the pool is not what they want. We had dolphinariums once in Britain and they are outdated activities which closed for lack of interest and a growing awareness of animal rights. If the Turkish people want to pay out a lot of money to visit that is their business. Cramming a couple of helpless ocean dolphins into a pool in the middle of a mountain village is not theraputic or even pleasant.

This is not the kind of thing we'd go to on holiday normally anyway, but after reading all the posts on here about the conditions these dolphins will have to endure we will definitely give it a miss. :-\

Good luck to all who are trying to get this stopped, hope you succeed.
