"Dolphinarium plans create major protest"

[Dolphin Angels]

Please can anyone and everyone ask at all the local agents if they can swim with Dolphins. Please report this info back here.

What we need to know is

1. the name of the agent - yes or no

2. if yes, where ... as in Kas or Hisaronu

3. if Hisaronu when!

We need to have a couple of old favourite independantly confirmed before we can name and shame.

Just got back from the pool and the subsidence is extending all the way along the one long side and has got worse on the other.

[cheers]

Apparently there are no local agents in Kas who sell tickets for the 'Puddle' there.

Confirmed

Pioneer and Carole & Tayfun not selling any tickets or organising transfers to any Dolphinarium.

Bloody Gorgeous is selling tickets to Kas now and Hisaronu when the Dolphins get here!

Presume we will have the same problem as the last article - some comments were published and some not.  One of my comments was not published and it was exactly the same as a later one which was?

Excellent article by the way!!

Thanks for the link Brian. From what I've seen on tripadvisor website this guy doesn't have any morals and is just the sort of agent who will sell tickets for this sort of thing. On another topic I find it very funny that tripadvisor close a tread if there are no posts for 6 months. Obviously in the winter months there will not be many posts on threads about summer resorts.

we have just had our News letter from Nicholas. They Catagorically stste that they have no involvment with the Dolphinarium. Will cut and paste the email as went to hubbys account

[Dolphin Angels]

Cathys article will also be printed in the Land of Lights this coming week. Hopefully this will increase greater awareness as there still seem to be many people that don't know this is happening.

We have 3 comments printed on the Hurriyet so far would be good to see some more as they need support and motivating to continue coverage on this issue.

We have had permission from Cathy to have it translated into Turkish for wider publication and circulation.

We are also working on aspects of the animal rights law which we will also have translated and use to target the relevant Ministies. More on this to come...

Confirmed local travel agents who have said they will not sell tickets for this OR the Kas Dolphinarium so far are:

1. Cadianda

2. Carole & Tayfun

3. Activities Unlimited

4. Pioneer

Cheers have you got that list of local tour operator email addresses you can post below. You can include any who previously said they weren't but now that Kas is apparently opening again... well you can guess the rest!!!
