"Dolphinarium plans create major protest"

[Gorgeous_bird]

Have the notices gone up around the pool stating that you cannot swim with the dolphins?

We are in Calis at the moment and spoke to some people today who are staying in Hisaronu there were no signs up this morning and there were people swimming with the dolphins.   Last night we were in Fethiye and walking along and stopped at the boats Popeye and Olive and spoke to George, he recommended a tour company in Olu Deniz to use I asked him if they did the Dolphin tours and firstly he wouldnt answer me I had to ask three times and eventually he said they didn/t.  When we stopped for dinner I looked at the brochure he handed me which was Pioneer Travel but had his name attached and inside they were advertising tours to swim with the dolphins.   No guessing what I did with that brochure and have sinced booked our trips with Carole and Tayfun.

Gutted - I love Popeye and Olive oil but they won't get my business anymore, and I'll tell them so.

Look out for the follow up article in Thursdays Sun newspaper as long as nothing more pressing crops up to take our space...

Englands not playing again are they  

Can someone post the link when it goes on line as we are out all day on urgent Dolphin business, thanks all

Nothing in todays paper:(

There is unfortunately and it says that Brits are paying £50 a time to swim with them. I'll try and link it if I can find it on line.

Nope - not on line but in my paper. It reads:

DOLPHIN PLEA (bottom of page 11)

Horrified wildlife campaigners have blasted tourists who pay to swim with two traumatised dolphins. Brits are paying up to £50 for a ten-minute dip with bottlenoses Misha and Tom in an 11m by 22m pool at the shabby attraction in Hisaronu, Turkey.
The park has been heavily citicised since The Sun revealed the plight of the creatures last month. Shirley Galligan, spokeswoman for wildlife charity Born Free said " We urge all tourists to boycott it"

Just to let everyone know, we are still doing everything we can to get this closure enforced, it has gone quiet on CBF but behind the scenes we are working round the clock with information changing every hour.

Updates as soon as we have something positive and concrete.

I thought it had gone quiet but knew things would be going on behind the scenes, hope we can save these poor Dolphins.

Got some more donations Andy, will send them tomorrow....will e mail you.

Never doubted for a minute that you were up to something
