  • @suicidalbunnie I get what you are saying. But if someone buys a loris to 'save' it, they basically just participate in the pet trade and encourage it. The trader will find another one to stuff in a box or worse. And, as you know, lorises are not domesticated, and frequently die in the very best of circumstances. The only way to stop all this is to get the laws enforced, educate people, offer other methods of making a living for poachers. Go to n o c t u r a m a . org to see more.

  • Sorry it cut me off....... Traders boxes were lots of them are crammed into small spaces or worse. I know taking them away from their natural habitat is wrong and should be stopped but it happens. I dont know what is worse, taking them away from their habitat or taking them away from cruel traders to go to an unhealthy habitat (someone's home). My point is makin them domesticated is wrong but they are safer in someone's home than in a traders box. I dont think it should even get that far though!

  • Now I agree, its wrong to take this cute creature out of its habitat, and I agree that everything that has anything to do with the Loris getting into the hands of traders is also wrong, but here's a thought. Factually wether we like it or not, it is happening and yes it needs to be stamped out but we cannot turn away from the fact the people who buy Loris's are takin them away from harmful situations too, ok they dont take them away to ideal situations but most peoples homes are safer than......

  • Best music possible!

  • gosh i love the song!

  • If you want one of these as a pet, please inform yourself. The pet trade contributes to the extinction of the loris. It is illegal & therefore not monitored: their teeth are removed with scissors or pulled out, causing infection (pain or death), they are kept in small airless boxes, flung about. If one is bought as a pet, another is removed from the wild. In Laos they are cut in half still alive, for medicine. Help save the loris if you love them.

  • Cruel bastards, why do people insist on making an endangered species more endangered. You wouldn't like it if you were taken from your home and kept prisoner by some strange person! Asshole!

  • i hope it bites you and your face rots of bitch

  • I want to hear a dubstep remix of this song.

  • it's so cute is he your pet

  • oops I got cut off there! ..it is like declawing cats, cruel and I think unnecessary. Wouldn't they only bite if they feel threatened anyway? Sorry that's a lot, but I thought I'd share my opinion too :)

  • I don't know very much about slow lorises except that they're adorable haha. But what I think from reading a lot of these comments is that, yes I think it's horrible they're endangered or threatened and their habitats are being destroyed. But I just think that a lot of these slow lorises do have a safe, happy life where they will probably live longer and not be so scared, as a pet. However I think there is still a lot of problems such as pulling out teeth is extremely inhumane, it is like decla

  • @mickey010694 but how did they get there? through cruel entrapment by illegal animal traders who dont give a fuck!!! Wake up or were you born yesterday.

  • @emipas1 like i said, i don't know very much about slow lorises......... and i am extremely against animal cruelty. and i honestly think there is no reason to be rude, I'm not the person you should be mad at here now am i.

  • I like the part where the slow loris starts pole dancing xD

    

  • @jdcoolsville fucking idiot!!!!!

  • I love slow lorises

  • This is something special ! MERRY CHRISTMASS !!

  • Is that a foot in the background??

  • STOP FUCKING WITH THIS ANIMAL. BE A SUSTAINABLE HUMAN AND LET IT RUN FREE IN IT'S NATURAL HABITAT. YOU'RE A DOUCHEBAG.

  • Comment removed

  • Never mind didn't kno it was illegal

  • How do u get one?

  • A dog gets to play in the garden, run free and act like a dog. A loris gets it's teeth removed, and is treated like a baby. This is sick!

  • who don`t like to go to the zoo garden, of course it`s some how prison, or is it a protectiv Place?

    In Africa, they kill Elephants and Rhinos, Cut The Part of the Head with chain saws , just to get the ivory and horn, for THOSE who PAY.... now it`s your turn to say something.......

  • Just so you know, these animals were domesticated over 4000 years ago by the natives of that region, mainly for a) breeding into food and b) food.

  • @razz526 oh well then those lovely animal traders in indo and thailand must be so kind to them.  BECAUSE THEY WERE DOMESTICATED! Duh, stupid me!!!

  • a genious

  • I think you should buy him a tree to sit in.

  • i'm f*cking scared :P

  • real easy to blame another country isn't it, it shows one's intelligence level and arrogance

  • This video is wrong! please read up about the illegal pet trade and what many of these animals go through. They pull there teeth out to stop them biting. 95% of them die due to infection or loss of blood. This is sick!!

  • Having a slow loris for a pet is soo cruel. They're nocturnal! They aren't traded legally! It's like Silvia said, they're illegal to have as pets for a reason.

  • not trying to be a dick, but your foot doesnt look normal...

  • @atreyu9a7x he has a sock on.

  • @ssonic116 no he doesnt...you can see in the very beginning of the video he does not have a sock on..but i realized that his foot is just upside down..my b...but hes not wearing a sock

  • what exactly is this thing? i say we dart & study it

  • Isnt a pet.... Fucking idiots

  • Cute but not good that they get there teeth ripped out so can't eat there natural food like lizards and crickets ,reason they get there teeth pulled is because they will bite.They can still bite with there small teeth and get the poison from there elbows and rub it on there teeth

  • but will it blend?

  • SO CUTE!

  • sooo cute awww and im a guy time to do some pushups lol

  • heehee i like when it likes the pole ^ ^

  • aww

    

  • whose making dat noise? Oh it's me again...

  • how do i get one as a pettttt? can i rescue one or something?

  • *_____________________________­*

  • everyone... when i was in indonesia, a guy wanted to sell me one of those that was about 2 months old, it was a tarsier, and it was small enough to fit in the guy's hand. it s mother was gone, it was clearly scared of all the giant monsters walking around and staring at it, and thats life for little cute animals in indonesia, they dont think animals have feelings so they tie fruitbats upsid down with rope on the pavement and break chickens legs to tie them to the bike on the way home. its insane

  • While I agree that we should have originally left life alone, we have also taken up their lace of residence and many animals are dying off due ot scarcity of land. Domesitcation might be one of the solutions to saving some animals from extinction. In all honesty, I would rather we had never done what we have done and taken up the land these animals need, but with damage done, domestication might save some of them.

  • thats mort from the penguins of madacascar haha so cute

  • Aww ssoooo cuteeee!!!!!!

  • VERY cute. VERY not a pet. Were MJ alive, we could ask what it was like to give away bubbles the chimp. these animals have specific niches & havent been bred enough yrs into domestication, & even so, would you really WANT to? Just bc we can take an orang out of borneo, should we? or a gator from the everglades? a boa from brazil? a loris from the tropics? they never asked to be what they are. it isn't our right to choose for them. I think we should all be happy with a dad-gum cat or dog! :)

  • Haha he looks high!

  • I ''WANT'' one....

  • Hi Mort!

  • I can haz?

  • CCCUUUUTEEEEE!!! *_______*

  • yes its cute but exotic creatures like this should never be pets, no wonder they're endangered.

    mind you what creature isnt these days because of us

  • were do you get one of those!? its so cute i want to make a hole in my face because its so cute!

  • @lovespencer123 in the jungle but be quick there arn't many left .

  • Troppo bello!

    

  • what was the loris holding on to??

  • I wanna step on it with my huge ass timberland boots on :P

  • Its only after we make a mistake that we learn our way to progress.

  • Cute haha... after reading some of the comments below i will give my opinion on things:

    all humans are greedy selfish bastards. its in our nature. we are also the dominate species on this planet whether by Gods will or not. so as the owners of this planet we must either learn the limits or be neglectful of the earth until certain impending doom. its ok if there are some on either side. it shows progress. if people want to domesticate slow lorises or dogs or giraffes into their home than its ok.

  • I threw up because of the music.. then i trew my self out of the window..

  • so cute :D

  • this music is so fitting for this video :D

  • That's me in the mornings..

  • Haha! so cute! looks like his Derping XP

  • my mate T said: "I hate this, as that animal would have had to have survived the trauma of its mother being murdered, then being torn from her body (as they NEVER let go from birth until they're older) as well as 'everything' involved with their trade and transport... Not all of them do! I think 'all' trade in them is illegal. They're all orphaned, hence why they cling onto their owners so much. It's a shame as it's mainly due to the fact they're the latest fad, especially in the US..."

  • @SilviaEffe007 Funny, I don't know anyone with a loris.

  • @amerskos Do you know anyone with a pet tiger either? or maybe a lion cub? or maybe something even more extreme like elephant ivory or rhino horns?? OH! you don't?! well then, That must mean illegal importation animals and objects must be completely imaginary, especially if 'You' don't know anyone with a pet loris.

    how about you shut up and sit down before i introduce you to the very real pain of having your ignorant face punched in.

  • @billabongwardle I never said that. Calm down.

  • @SilviaEffe007 Actually Most Of The Orphans Come From The Mother Being Sickly And Passing Away Or The Baby Becoming Diseased And Needing To Be Nursed Back To Health.. I Happen To Think Its A Wonderful Thing.. Because Do You Think If The Mom Dies The Baby Should Too?? No. I Don't Think So.

  • @hfc10 Where did you find that info?? The slow loris is endangered because of the exotic pet trade! your talking absolute rubbish.

  • @SilviaEffe007 Now i want one even more!!!

  • @SilviaEffe007 Read the description mate, its from Canada

  • @SilviaEffe007 I bet cheetas care when they are drinking the blood out of the neck of a Thompsons Gazelle while its mother watches.

  • @SilviaEffe007 Shows how twisted a number of Americans are, then. No offence ment if you yourself are an American.

    Fads piss me off when they're over animals. These creatures have lifes like us, they're not play-things.

  • This animal needs a wooden stuff to climb on !

    

  • @useyahoo ur an idiot like do uk the earth would be in a better condition with out us it also affect the biodiversity of there environment yes we keep them as pet because humans try to train them

  • This whole time i was just staring at the messed up foot in the background.

  • I have a fast loris

    *troll face* Problem?

  • Luv it!

  • EPIC CUTE

  • So cute....and some people are just stupid! Animals are a very important part of our lives....even as pets

  • lol the music makes me want to strangle a kitten

  • Awwwwwwwwwwww

    he/she is soooo cute

    i wanna have one :D

  • also to get one thing straight: animals would never in a million years get humans as pets. They would at least have the goddamn courtesy to treat you as oone of their own. You ever heard of people that were raised by animals? YES there were some! At one point in their biological growth these people needed OTHER peoples help because animals cannot provide the specific help. Humans on the other hand know what animals need to survive and are able to take the right measures.

  • @USEYAHOO however there are very ignorant fucks out there who dont care for their pets so you environmentalist scumbags can keep your jobs and actually do something right instead of bitching about animals that are in A-Okay condition.

  • @USEYAHOO hey hey hey homeboy! chill haha your very ignorant... this is the slow loris we are talking about they don't need humans... humans are the ones who took their homes... yes we humans dominate this earth but it does not mean we own it... we share this planet with millions of other species.... maybe its cuz we humans think we know it all.... so you go to school fag...learn the facts... we humans are the ones changing their enviorment.... :D the circle of ignorant fucks like you....gtfo!

  • Boohoo... I see major tree huggers on here... take it back to the wilderness so it can breed blablabla... FUCK YOU! Asshole... they are endangered not only because they get sold on the black market but because their environment changes or other species are slowly forcing them out of their territories also. Go to school fagbags. I bet if u throw this one into the jungle it would starve to death or get eaten immediately and u come in and say its teh circle of life... gtfo.

  • I' going to STEAL it!!!

  • Weed? ;D

    

  • thumbs up if you're the 200000 visitor... :)

  • Not trying to start a problem but can someone tell me why domestication is bad other than giving a bio of the animals, their habitats & the tired overall remark about wild animals needing to remain wild or people won't take care of them properly or how it'll put pressure on poachers/hunters & illegal pet traders to catch more.

    I own exotic pets, with the proper care and attention they add a lot to my life. Pet owners are more like parents, you have to take the responsibility to be the provider.

  • @AliCat42 It's for the animals well being... they are endangered and the wild is their home... I'm sure they're lonely and depressed... think about it if you were taken by a gorilla or any animal as a pet wouldn't you be depressed if you were taken from the place you call home..... the place where you can interact with your own kind and can be understood.... find a mate and live freely.... some animals like humans don't like to be owned... think about their feelings thats all i have to say

  • @123tonycasey At least in the wild the dum ass humans would die!!!!

  • i had to punch the wall to regain my manhood

  • @GamersZoneNL i punched my self in the face.

  • @GamersZoneNL LOL!

  • @GamersZoneNL lol

  • For the Slow Loris sake.......Tidy your room dude!!!

  • Slow lorises are also stress-sensitive and do not do well in captivity. Common health problems seen in pet slow lorises include undernourishment, tooth decay, diabetes, obesity, and kidney failure. Infection, stress, pneumonia, and poor nutrition lead to high death rates among pet lorises.Pet owners also fail to provide proper care because they are usually asleep when the nocturnal pet is awake.

  • As part of the trade, infants are pulled prematurely from their parents, leaving them unable to remove their own urine, feces, and oily skin secretions from their fur. Slow lorises have a special network of blood vessels in their hands and feet, which makes them vulnerable to cuts when pulled from the wire cages they are kept in

  • Slow lorises have their teeth cut or pulled out for the pet trade, and often die from infection, blood loss, poor handling, or poor nutrition.

  • Best music EVA! what's the name of the song ?? O-o

  • lmao i lyke this video...nah its just the GANJA

  • @marxandmarzipan I agree with you. I feel bad watching these videos because they are very cute and all that, but soon slowloris will just another extinct species

  • It looks mentally challenged, it;d probably last an hour out the front door.

  • woooh yeah lapdance :D

  • What song is this ?

  • btw just to let everyone know there actually poisonous so i wouldnt let it bite you lol

  • I want one! :D

  • Getting one for Christmas so friendly my mates selling me a baby will be friendly one he says

  • Funny and cute song :)

  • I just wanna cuddle it all day long :'D

  • awwww :3

  • I love The Song Lool !

  • @ 0:34 he i watching you

  • Mort !?

  • I hope you got this animal from a shelter

  • the music is crap but the animal looks cute but I'd never keep one.

  • A loris is a wild animal, not a pet or a toy. Almost all of the loris-owners, are getting the animals teeth and nails pulled out. Is that cute?!

  • @DanmarkMaria A dog is a wild animal, not a pet or toy. Oh wait, people keep dogs. Almost all loris owners got the animal after it's teeth had already been clipped. A competent veterinarian could easily remove the poison gland in their arm and there'd be no need to clip or pull anything, or otherwise hurt the animal. I think there needs to be a legal trade of these animals so that the illegal capture and sale of them would die down.

  • @hzuiel A dog is NOT a wild animal. It is a domesticated animal which was bread by humans to help and interact with humans. Buying wild animals like a slow loris is not a good thing. They are not domesticated and should live in the wild. That the teeth and nails had already been clipped before someone buys the poor creature is no excuse. When buying a wild animal you support the illegal trade and thus create a market for more and more wild animals to be taken from the wild.

  • @ehardam No, a dog is a wild animal. Every animal, is a wild animal. People are injured or killed by "domesticated" animals all the time. The only thing that makes them domesticated is that they have come to be mostly compatible with living alongside humans over time, but they are still wild animals that humans just started keeping around them. For that matter humans are animals too, before we had cities, we lived in the woods too. People need to get some perspective. There is a thing called

  • @hzuiel You sure know how to mix up things. Just living in woods does not make a human or any living being wild. And that you might get killed buy someone or some animal does not make it a wild animal. Oh well... you live in your world, I live in mine.

  • @ehardam In the meantime, while the professionals hash out how to protect the animals, why can't we all just shut up and watch some videos, what youtube was meant for. Oh I forgot, the internet is serious business.

  • @ehardam Too bad the world you live in isn't the real world. According to scientists, in the not too distant past we were still covered in fur and living in the woods with other animals, and a few genetic changes later and we're the most dominant species on the planet, and so now we want to pretend we aren't just animals that interact with other animals? That's nature. The only thing that's different between us and other animals in nature is how smart we are. Because people are so confused

  • @ehardam by the mystical illusion they spin around themselves to feel special, like they aren't just another part of nature. We're animals that sit in skyscrapers instead of the dirt. Sometimes we keep other animals around for companionship or food. Oh but we can slap a label on those and call them domesticated and they're somehow magically different than all the other animals around, even though they ADD to that list all the time. Ever noticed how pet shops are always adding new pets to their

  • @ehardam list? People get bored with mundane old cats, dogs, goldfish, and parakeets. So they have to keep upping the ante and add new more exciting fish, new rodents, lizards, insects, all kinds of crazy things. Nobody gives a shit about those because they're in a pet store, they must be okay then! But because this animal for whatever reason isn't on the super special list, it's cruel and wrong to have it. In the not to distant past, what made a pet a pet, was if it stuck around you.

  • @ehardam For instance if an animal wandered out of the woods and you offered it food, and it didn't run away, you formed a little trust. Then it might remember you had food and come back again, and again, and then it had babies and it brought it's babies to you to get food, and it's babies grew up around you and trusted you even more, and holy shit, 10,000 years later you have "domesticated dogs." What the hell is the difference? None.

  • @ehardam In the case of slow loris' if they can be properly cared for by pet owners, and be happy and healthy, they should be treated no differently. If on the other hand they're not a very good pet and don't live very well under human care, they probably just shouldn't be sold as a pet at all. However in either case, there is some weird attention being placed on youtube, even highly educated people are making retarded claims that showing slow loris' on youtube is going to be the end of them.

  • @ehardam No, their own people in indonesia are going to be the end of them. The people who are catching these things by the droves and killing most of them with poor care, do not watch youtube. The vast majority of people who watch videos of slow lorises on youtube do not in fact, go out and frantically seek out the animal black market and try to buy one. It's like trying to say the discovery channel is bad for animals because people watching them might want one. I wanted a pet tiger when i was

  • @ehardam 6, but guess what i never got? Yeah you guessed it. Just because people want something super bad, doesn't mean they're going to go get it. The big battle for a species like the slow loris or gorillas, or tigers, elephants, rhinos, or others that are being hunted illegally for stupid reasons, is in the country they come from. I don't understand why people don't see this. Yes demand for a product is a factor but guess what, if zambia cracked down on elephant poaching, it wouldn't happen.

  • @ehardam I can guarantee you, if people tried to capture bald eagles to sell for pets in the US or other countries, some people would be in prison for life. The same reaction is needed in other countries to prevent those animals from being hunted to extinction and abused. Until that happens you can type all over youtube until your fingers bleed and it won't save a single slow loris. That's why real conservationists are over in those countries protecting the animals, not on an internet website.

  • @ehardam animal husbandry. You keep an animal with you, care for it's needs, and it accepts you as either a friend or owner, and you then have a bond, and that process can be kept up until an animal is considered "domesticated" although i laugh a little bit at the word domesticated every time a bull smears a rodeo clowns insides all over the place. Even if they are considered domesticated, every animal including humans came from the wild.

  • @ehardam Alcohol used to be illegal. Are you saying it's bad to drink beer ? If more humans adopt these wild animals, it create jobs and it make people happy. Zootherapy, please check it. Now, if the wild animal is dangerous or his specie is in danger to disappear, it's something else.

  • @aegisknox They are in danger of becoming extinct in the wild and they have a nasty bite, thats why they get there teeth pulled out before they are sold to stupid tourists. Many of them die from infection or bleeding when they pull them out. They also have poison stored in their elbows.

  • @ehardam And a dog at one time was a wild animal and we made it domesticated which is what we're doing with many other animals today. People are so stupid to sit there and say oooh its a wild animal is should be where it belongs LOL your dog at one time in history was too. Making an animal domesticated has to start somewhere. If its born into captivity it doesn't know any better and dogs bite people all the time, domestic or not its still an animal and has a mind of its own.

  • @hzuiel it's illegal for a reason. all sub species of slow loris are endangered.

  • @phantasystar88 They are endangered because of the illegal trade. If there was a legal trade, regulated by people that aren't just profiteering, they wouldn't be endangered. Or if the governments of the countries they come from had any spines or cared even a little. They poach those animals with basically no reprisals. Do you have any idea what would happen to me if i hunted endangered animals in the US and then displayed them at a public venue for sale? I'd be lucky if it took more than 2 weeks

  • @phantasystar88 for the authorities to have me behind bars for years. Heck a cousin of mine had a bear tooth necklace for sale in a booth of his at a trade show where he sells rustic furniture and he got arrested. The state he is from allows the sale of bear teeth and claws, the state the show was in has laws against it. I think he got off with a minor fine after pleading his case to the judge but they don't screw around here. In Indonesia on the other hand......

  • @phantasystar88 The real issue is the governments whose jurisdiction these animals are being taken from. The trade will never ever stop, no matter how much you scream and yell on youtube. when people all around the world that don't watch youtube, or speak english to understand you, are buying and selling these animals. Most of the people who post videos of slow loris's on youtube either are at an animal sanctuary, or have unwittingly bought one, not knowing they're illegal. Once they have it,

  • @phantasystar88 it's too late to do anything besides try to take the best care of it possible. They can't be released back into the wild, it's impossible. If their teeth are cut or pulled out they can't defend themselves and if they were taken as babies and hand fed, they don''t even know how to forage properly for food in their natural environment. So screaming on youtube has little effect. I don't know why people all across these videos don't understand that youtube is not the battlefield.

  • that music makes it a bit creepy

  • 37 people are soooo BAAAD!!!! :(

  • um actually, @morihorse is right.

    It's not right to keep them as a pet. There are not enough of them for them to become domesticated like a cat or dog.

    Their entire species is actually considered endangered.
