I just loved reading how well everything went today and I am very proud and so wish I could have been there to see it......It does bring a tear to your eye Jan....I can totally understand that you good people would be moved....I am....and its thinking of the consequences that will help to release Misha and Tom.

Fantastic turnout.......xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

What a turnout over 500 people attended this protest,it was carried out very quietly and with great dignity,I was proud to be part of such a tremendous event,and an occasion that is very rarely seen in  Turkey.Well done to all the organisers and marshalls.and a very big well done to Dolphin Angels,hopefully this will be a turning point for Misha and Tom,and eventually they will be able to escape the sink and go back to their natural home where they belong.....

Lynda Yilmaz Just watched Fethiye Haber. 1,500 people reported as attending. Lots of Turks interviewed. TEMA rep had a bit of an arguement with a spokesman from the Dolphinarium and asked 'why did you bring these dolphins from Kas' (no reply)
Born Free was mentioned many times by all the Turks interviewed my Turkish wasn't enough to...

Just picked this up off Facebook....  Excellent Press well done all

[cheers]

What a sign of respect that the bars turned their music off!!  I keep saying on FB that the ordinary local people do not want this either!  So glad it went off so well!
:D

Well done to all involved. I hope it makes a huge difference for Misha and Tom.

One bar that didn't turn their music off was Nadia's Bar. She didn't get a single customer from the march which was very good to see and the sight of her sculking behind a plant with huge dark sunglasses on just about sums up her real indifference to the plight of these dolphins and shows her up for the greedy opportunist she really is. Very well done to everyone who attended i think the turkish jandarma and the police were impressed with the diginity in which this protest was carried out.

Great news, I'm so glad it ran smoothly.  Well done everyone, lets' hope it's gone some way towards Misha and Tom being free very soon

I was very proud to be part of this today-superb turnout, well-organised, very dignified-most of the bars did turn their music off & some staff came & stood outside in silence too. A real united effort & powerful impact-lets hope it has helped to free Misha & Tom very soon.

Wow it was just fantastic to see all those people pulling together for such a good cause.
I felt so proud to have been able to take part in such a great event.
I really pray that Misha and Tom get a better quality of life god only knows they deserve it.
A big thank you to all the organizer's for putting this together.
