yesterday a possibly Ukraniun man, dressed in a Marmaris Dolphin Park t-shirt alleging to be the cousin of the owner of Marmaris Dolphin Park (who is German) and a well dresses British woman were in a well known and popular restaurant in Fethiye, the Mulberry Tree.
After he had investigated the Born Free Live Free poster and Dolphin bags and generally had a good old nosey he demanded of the proprieter that he wanted to talk about Dolphins and who were and where could he find the Dolphin Angels.
Christine who has been a staunch support for the cause from day 1 gave him short thrift and sent him packing suggesting that he direct any enquiries he has to Born Free.
Now it could be something or nothing. Maybe he's heard we are in the market for a couple of Dolphins and has got two going spare. Who knows.
But, if you do encounter these people then mums the word but if they volunteer any info about what they want do please pass it on.
Thanks
Although the action of the owner of the Mulberry Tree is commendable, its a shame you did not get the opportunity to speak to him. I know it sticks in the throat to actually talk to some one from the Marmaris Dolphin Park but he may have had some information that may (I say may) have been useful. Info I am talking about could have been;
* He had been offered the dolphins at a price.
* He was down to inspect the dolphins prior to accepting them.
* He was down inspecting the dolphins and was not going to take them
* He could know the real price they will accept for the dolphins (although buying them is not an option).
* He may know where the Russian actually is.
* He may have two more dolphins to add to rehab as you mention

He also may have wanted to voice his 'disapproval' of what is going on here but I am sure that there are many of us here, me 1st in line, to offer their services as 'bodyguards' so things would not get out of hand.
