That this House commends the Turkish holiday town of Fethiye for combating its stray animal problem, notably the neuter and return policy which has decreased the number of stray dogs and cats; recognises in contrast the plight of dolphins in captivity at the tourist centre of Kas where they are kept in a pool too small for their needs and where shows aimed specifically at tourists are held; and calls on the Government to urge the Turkish Department for the Environment to stop this cruelty.
