Ölüdeniz to get its first dolphinarium

[Scunner]

The truth is that people who want to swim with dolphins (strange bunch but there seem to be plenty) probably won't know that they are held captive in a swimming pool up a mountain till they actually get there. I doubt refunds will be an option either. The promotional literature will be interesting too. Will it show this paddling pool? More probable is a close up of a dolphin, or who knows, maybe even a big dolphinarium from the other side of the World.

Should have added maybe if we all emailed the daily mirror they may look into it?

I don,t see a problem of swimming with Dolphins,as long as they are in their natural enviroment and they are free to swim to you,that I would say would be an experience of a lifetime.Hopefully anyone with friends and family coming here will encourage them not to go to this god forsaken place.

Boycott all travel agents, bars etc that promote this place.

Ask Thomas Cook and others to get their reps on their welcome brief to advise clients to avoid this place (Tui have withdrawn Kas dolphinarium from their list)

I would agree with all of the above but, in the meantime, is there no 'official' department that can be complain to?  Making it known in UK papers is great but will it have the desired affect on holidaymakers?  The welfare of the dolphins is paramount, can't it be stopped before they get here?  And how/why were they captured to begin with!
This sickens me.

I have posted a new discussion on Keramettin Yilmaz's board signed the WWF, reported the article to Facebook, couldn't e mail the Mirror for some reason.

Anything else I can do?
