Türkiye'de “yunus rehabilitasyonu”, “yunus terapisi”, “yunus tedavisi”, “bilimsel araştırmalara katkı” gibi çeşitli nedenler gösterilerek büyük çoğunluğu eğlence amaçlı hizmet veren “Yunus Parkları” bulunmaktadır. Çalışmada Türkiye’de bulunan yunus parklarının hayvan gönenci, etik ve mevzuat çerçevesinde değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmanın materyalini yunuslar ve yunus parkları ile ilgili olabilecek Ulusal ve Uluslararası mevzuat; Ocak 2013-Mayıs 2020 yılları arasında Basın İlan Kurumu verilerine göre Türkiye'de internet arşivi olan, en yüksek tiraja sahip dört gazete oluşturdu. Gazetelerin internet arşivlerinde arama motorlarına, konuya ilişkin olarak “yunus”, “yunus parkı”, “yunus parkları” anahtar kelimeleri yazılarak haber taraması yapıldı. Türkiye’de Yunus Parklarına ilişkin özel bir yasal düzenleme olmadığı; genel olarak deniz memelilerinin korunmalarına yönelik bazı uluslararası düzenlemelere taraf olunduğu tespit edildi. Yapılan gazete taramalarında yunus parklarının, eğlence (insan için) ya da işkence (yunuslar için) arasında yapılan değerlendirmede, hayvanların korunması amacıyla sivil toplum kuruluşları tarafından gerçekleştirilen yunus parklarının kapatılması, buradaki hayvanların özgür bırakılması yönündeki eylem, imza gibi çeşitli etkinliklere yönelik haberlerin ön planda yer bulduğu belirlendi. Son yıllarda kamuoyunda oldukça fazla tartışılmaya başlanan yunus parklarının kapatılması gerektiği söylenebilir.
In Turkey, there are "Dolphin Parks", most of which provide entertaining services by showing various reasons such as "dolphin theraphy", "dolphin treatment", "contribution to academic research". The study aimed at evaluating the dolphin parks in Turkey in terms of animal welfare, ethics and legislation. The data of the study were obtained from National and International legislations relevant to dolphin parks as well as four newspapers (Habertürk, Hürriyet, Millliye and Sabah) having the highest circulation rate and internet archive in Turkey according to Press Announcement Association data of January 2013-May 2020. In research engines of online archives of the newspapers, news scanning was made with the key words "dolphin", "dolphin park", "dolphin parks". It was found that there was no specific regulation on Dolphin Parks in Turkey, but that the country had been a party to some international regulations on the protection of marine mammals. As a result of the newspaper analysis, in the evaluation of dolphin parks in terms of entertainment (for humans) or torture (for dolphins), it was concluded that the news regarding activities such as demonstration or signature collection which was carried out by civil society with the aim of closing the dolphin parks to protect animals was foregrounded. It can be said that the dolphin parks, which have been widely discussed in recent years, should be closed.
