"Dolphinarium plans create major protest"

[cheers]

This is a very emotive subject as we all know and comments like "I haven't seen it" so how can I comment don't wash with me!! Everyboy who posts on here have access to the internet, I am here and just going on to the FB page will give people all the info they need to speak up against this VILE act!  I know you silently do e mails etc. but this is the place on the ground that can do so much!!  Only one person who is a member of CBF posted on Facebook today but not on here!!   Well done her!!  Where are the rest of you?  This is the place that you have chosen to holiday year after year, live or buy a place here.  Why are you all so silent?  People are fighting tooth and nail for Misha & Tom!  Where have your voices been for the last few days?  THIS IS THE SITE ON THE GROUND!!!!

Linda, I am going to bed now but couldn't leave without letting you know that whilst your intentions are obvious, your actions are possibly rubbing good supportive people frimly up the wrong way. Those who are less vocal than you aren't losing the will to fight. Highlander is right, he can't object to something that he didn't stumble across on his daily browse.

My concern is that your overzealous approach to this situation might just be beginning to alienate people.

Cheers, agree with Keith.  How can we be up in arms about something we know/knew nothing about  I certainly don't watch GMTV when in Turkey

[cheers]

Even less reaction than I thought I would get!

Seriously -get a grip, you couldn't ask for more support from the members of CBF- I didn't see the programme and couldn't give 2 figs whether it washes with you or not. I work hard and i'm out of the house from 7:45am to 6pm 5 days a week. It's because of this that I don't always have time to to check in on the Facebook page let alone watch GMTV (and to be honest why would I want to watch GMTV). However it does allow me to make a large donation to the dolphin fund (and I can tell you it was not the money that cost me Nick and I had a huge row about the size of the donation) and be present for the silent protest in Hisoranu, pay more than double for the protest T shirt (my own choice) and when I did have time email countless people with my feelings about the dolphin pool. If the Dolphin Angels ask me to do something, I'm there. But your intention to make people feel guilty about not commenting on a programme that they didnt see has somewhat peeved me. Be very careful it may not take much to turn ardent supporters of the plight of Micha and Tom maybe a little less supportive than you intended. Try and keep your thoughts to yourself if they are of this nature otherwise you may find that the fickle finger of fate points in your direction for not helping the dolphin cause.

Lets not any of us fall out at this late stage of the game.

If some one sees something on Facebook that isn't reported here the simple thing to do is to post it here and draw it to everyone's attention and then I am sure that those that want to do something will!

And I am sure most will report that they have taken some action. And if they don't that is their business.

Everyone here on this topic has played their part in some way. No action is too small or insignificant - it all adds to the whole which has been overwhelming.

Lets keep up the good work together - its not over yet... there are still 2 Dolphins in a small pool up a mountain and somewhat the worse for wear. They need us more than ever right now.

"I haven't seen it" so how can I comment don't wash with me!!

The reason I won't respond to that is of course that this should be about the dolphins and nothing else.

Cheers - if you want to criticism me in the future then please use my personal email rather than posting on here.

Thank you H

I have to confess I don't watch GMTV either, only caught it because I was in the gym.
I also think it must be lovely to swim with Dolphins in the wild, the two in the advert on
GMTV where in a pool and captive Dolphins.
I have been to a Dolphin show in Tenerife about 10 years ago, but since all this has come
up about the Hisanoru Dolphins I have changed my opinion about captive Dolphins and would not
go and see a show again.  I have been educated.  Dolphins should be in the wild.
I have donated to the cause, signed petitions etc.,  I have done very little, compared to others
on this Forum,  but I do care.  I don't want to feel guilty that I should be doing more.
After all this, we are all fighting for the same cause, so lets fight together, some may do a lot
some may do a little but we all want the same end to this tragic situation.

it seems the strain is begining to show,please, keep the onus on positivity,wev'e had a few whingers on f.b. recently,ive posted a little note on there to them....not here to boost own ego,to grab 5 minute fame,we dont need confrontation,its not some silly game.Each one on here is equal,no boss,or hierarchy,just want the final sequel,to see our boys swim free.The end result here to acheive,is ending our boys plight,help us -or feel free to leave,spitting dummies isnt right.On spouting, wer'e a "waist off time",members laugh and disagree,you time is better spent at school,leave us to get them free!!!                    
           And now im going back to f.b.to rally the troops,and try to keep spirits up,and raise awareness to the ones who yet dont know about our wonderful people,and what we are aiming to do.xxx
