28th of August, 2016, after the Särkänniemi dolphins were moved to Attica, Attica reported in their own newsletter this: "The population of this group includes seven male dolphins and a female. THE CREATION OF THIS GROUP WAS CARRIED OUT UNDER THE SCIENTIFIC SUPERVISOR OF NILS VAN ELK, COORDINATOR OF THE EUROPEAN ENDANGERED SPECIES PROGRAM (EEP) FOR BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS in collaboration with top scientists for the species who oversaw transporting them, while assisting our staff and experienced carers in Greece." and "In conclusion, we would like to point out that both the Attica Zoological Park and the Greek authorities have responded to an urgent need and WE HAVE ALL ENSURE THAT THE FOUR DOLPHINS FROM FINLAND CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITIONS SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO CONSIDER OTHER ALTERNATIVES, SOME EVEN OMINOUS FOR THEIR FUTURE." https://www.facebook.com/AtticaZoologicalPark/photos/a.430065149750.230143.56167704750/10154053911189751/?type=3&theater: Authoritys approval for Veera's transfer to another dolphinarium means her death. This is unacceptable and we are working to ensure that Veera will not be removed from her pod in Attica.
