Yip, absolutely nauseating!

The rubbish spewed out on Fodors carries ON and ON and ON and ON!

It's time that Fodors took action to maintain their integrity as a travel forum and not a vehicle of malice in the name of enlightenment.

Sorry - but it's not all over again. The second link goes to an article on a UK rhino charity which gets support/money from a hunting club!

You might not belief it: Being a travel forum doesn't mean to not inform on tourist traps! The opposite is the case! A travel forum has the obligation to inform on ANYTHING related to tourism, whether you like it or not!

Posters have reported on their "cute lion patting" and were shocked when they learned about the abuse and hunting.

So please calm down and face the reality. Acknowledging the reality would also enhance your credibility!
There are far to few TA/TO who inform on pro and cons! Let you clients make an educated decision. But first you have to serve them by providing the facts! ALL FACTS!

SA has its wonderful sights and venues. But certainly SA is pretty much a rogue nation when it comes to animal abuse!

FWIW - "spassvogel" is a German word for -
"joker". I liked "pippa" or "devine" better.
