Pinnawala fake orphanage guides redirecting tourists to expensive spice gardens

Those private facilities often use cruel chaining and bullhooks. By redirecting you, the driver is supporting unethical wildlife tourism.

If your driver refuses to take you to the actual government-run Pinnawala site, threaten to cancel the ride and withhold his pay.

I hate when they do this. Do not buy anything from the spice garden, it is all fake and overpriced.
