Real Gap Experience caught LYING to the public. Please email and demand Real Gap/TUI issue a statement on their ethical stance towards cub petting and breeding facilities. Thank you.
Since May 2014 we've been contacting ABTA and TUI owned Real Gap to remove cub petting facilities from their list of projects. Their project was the horrid Ukutula. In recent weeks, they have finally removed Ukutula and rightly so, however Real Gap are telling the public that they removed Ukutula due to the project being FULL. I contacted Ukutula personally and they confirmed there was space.
So here we have a totally irresponsible volunteer company in Real Gap, who are blatantly lying to the public, have already mis-sold a product, deceived thousands of volunteers and consumers and STILL DON'T GET IT.
Real Gap have released NO statement. How can a company be responsible when they cannot admit or confirm their stance towards such irresponsible, cruel and deceitful activities such as cub petting which is connected to canned hunting. If anyone believes cub petting is ethical to begin with, they are severely misguided.

ALL VOLUNTEER COMPANIES ARE TO ISSUE STATEMENTS ON THEIR WEBSITE STATING THEY DO NOT SUPPORT CUB PETTING FACILITIES... if you do, then you must remove. Anyone who is responsible already and do not offer these experiences, well done and please support us to ensure all agencies follow suit. Thank you.
