We don’t want a dolphinarium in Bodrum!

Bodrum yunus parkı ilk tutsak yunuslar

Right after four dolphins were moved from Bodrum to Kaş on December 8, 2011, we received another message on 27.12.2011 informing us about the transfer of three new dolphins that have been imprisoned into a 5-6m2 space in a sea-pen in Bodrum – Güvercinlik dolphin park. For this reason, we are starting the legal procedures against this infringement of law right away by adding the recent photos of the dolphins and our letter to the authorities.
