So sad, so very, very sad:(

PS That is a comment on the film - not the post immediately above this one.

Yes it was the ITV London local news at 6.

If you are in the UK but not in London area, ITV London is on Sky (channel 993) and Freesat (channel 977). Should be on again after News at 10.

Agreed, and with that the dolphins can be cared for and supported and this dreadfully embarrassing episode for Turkey can start to fade. How so many levels of authority have become involved and yet the dolphins are still in the concrete tank and people can still turn up and swim with them with no hint of anyone preventing that is a national disgrace that has sent Turkey back God knows how many years.

hopefully you caught the second showing just now... if you are in the uk it is on the web site (see above post with link) but still blocked to Turkey unless you have a UK IP address.

Just waiting for someone to post on youtube and then we can all view through Ktunnel or similar...

Just watched online....words can not express the sadness of it all and the disgust for those responsible...it's no surprise it comes down to money. The owner wants a huge 'compensation' payout to give them up....whats two dead dolphins going to earn him in the end....what is wrong with this man...what a greedy, evil person to allow this to happen to these 2 beautiful creatures.

Less importantly, but still relevant, the bad press this is giving this area as a tourist destination is certain to have a  negative affect.

Madness...pure madness
