After videos of slow lorises being tickled and fed rice balls in a captivity sweep the Internet, the wide-eyed animals shot to viral fame.
The YouTube videos generated thousand of comments about the primate’s adorable looks, but they also highlighted grievous threat facing slow lorises: demand for them as pets.
Countless slow lorises are captured each year form their rain forest habitat and sold online.
Customers find them irresistible, but these primates don’t fare well as pets. Before they are sold, most undergo a painful process to remove their sharp teeth. Experts concluded that all the animals were distressed and sick. These sensitive, nocturnal,small animals don't like to be handled.
The ongoing pet trade continues to run rampant, and would really push lorises to the brink of extinction.
