Ölüdeniz to get its first dolphinarium

[cheers]

100 percent agree with that Keith!!  Although I have posted my thoughts to whoever, posted my thoughts on all the different forums, told all my friends etc.  Anyone any ideas as to how to hit those in involved in their pockets?  I will be front of the queue if anyone can tell me how!

I will be behind you Cheers.  The feeling of helplessness is what is keeping this thread going.  All we can do is raise awareness and if that stops some people from going we have achieved something.

Have just read elsewhere that the people who advise to Turkish Ministry of Tourism on strategy and publicity in the UK are at

info@redmintcomms.co.uk

Directors are Ceyda Sara Pekenc and Hulya Soylu who am sure would be delighted to know of the damage to their work caused by Mr Y.

Shall we all email these 2 ladies??

I think we may need to do something in the way of a formal protest at the council offices or the site.  How many would be willing to turn up in person and join a peaceful protest?  Maybe we could get some TV cameras there as well as land of lights?

Umpy, someone has suggested this on the facebook page.  Would it be better to co-ordinate it from ther e?  There are now 857 members and a lot of them must stay there.  I am not in Turkey so am only able to protest from my armchair.

I am out on the 15th April for 2 weeks so would be willing to assist if a protest was organised?

Have just emailed them  and forwarded both links to the news article and the facebook page,so will see if i receive a reply?

[cheers]

I emailed the WWF and they have suggested we contact the following groups:-

 http://www.wspa.org.au   World Society for the Protection of animals
http://www.bornfree.org.uk/index.shtml  UK organisation

They also said this

> You could also contact your local WWF office, or the WWF-Turkey office, as they may be able to provide more information about other local organizations who may be able to help. Their contact details (along with website URLs) of all our offices around the world are available at:

I looked at the website for Turkey but it is in Turkish as far as I could see.

Worth a try

Do you think the mayor would have a change of mind if he read the article "What happens to dolphins in captivity" on the WSPA website.  I don't think so.

This land was a childrens park which has been taken away and to be replaced by this!  How could anyone who thought about the people do this?


By the way do you think his company Nicholas Homes would be building this monstrosity? Is this how the plans were passed?

If so everyone should BUOYCOTT NICHOLAS HOMES!!!  The only way to make him sit up is if this happens!!
