As some of you may know a few nights ago 4 dolphins were brought in the dead of night and imprisoned in Misha and Tom's old, small and now rusty sea pens in Kas. The sea pens there are very small indeed and now not two but four dolphins are confined there.
It is currently believed these dolphins have been moved like commodities from Bodrum Dolphin Park.
Now I do understand some people may not feel as strongly about this as they did when they heard two dolphins were going to be dumped in a small swimming pool up a mountain in Hisaronu after all these 4 dolphins are at least in the sea.
However through the course of the campaign to free Misha and Tom many of us learned that actually to such sensitive cetaceans captivity of any kind is like a living hell.
Dolphins in captivity are fed only enough to ensure they perform for "tricks" they get depressed and die young and if proof of this was needed remember we found out 4 dolphins previously died at Kas and our Misha and Tom were the third pair of "Misha and Toms."
There is already a campaign underway to "do something" about this and you can get involved by visiting this web site to see what action you can take.

I do not know if or when it will become a public group so if you would like to be more active and would like to join you need to ask someone who is already a member... if you are already on my Facebook friends list and I haven't already added you just message me and I will add you.
A response today from the Mayor of Kas about this development states as follows
"the Municipality had no information about the transportation of the dolphins".
He promises to investigate the whole process from the start and publish the results to the public on their web page.
