Dubai hotel urged to free shark
Environmentalists are calling for the release of a shark which was "rescued" by an aquarium at a Dubai hotel.
The Atlantis Hotel insist the endangered species - nicknamed Sammy - was "rescued" off the coast of Dubai six weeks ago when it was spotted in in distress.
But campaigners argue the hotel always planned on catching a whale shark as a tourist attraction for its giant aquarium - a tank built to invoke the ruins of Atlantis.
The environmentalists now want the hotel to say if or when the 4m shark, who could grow up to 12m (39ft) will be released.
This could end up as a cross between Jaws and Free Willy.
