Animal welfare in Antalya
Two attractions linked to this record keep animals. Land of Legends includes Dolphin Land, which the operator lists with a dolphin show and extra-paid close-contact experiences, including dolphin swims for ages 8 and above, that are refundable only up to a day before the event under its rules; nothing in the admission ticket obliges anyone to take part. Antalya Aquarium keeps sharks, rays and other species in its tunnel tank and lists scheduled activities such as shark feeding. XTOUR did not find welfare standards, accreditation or inspection information for either operator, and none is claimed.
