Article on Indonesian pet trade: "5 slow lorises found in tiny rusting cages behind the scenes at the market. Naturally shy & nocturnal, the little animals were visibly suffering in the bright sunlight and the extreme heat. International Animal Rescue's chief executive, said: "These rare & beautiful animals should've been sleeping in the trees of the jungle. Instead they were in a completely alien environment & could be heard screaming in agony as their teeth were cut down before our very eyes."
@oOOoCaLdEroOOo I know. and 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...
This slow loris video is a video of an endangered animal that is not suitable for captivity. They frequently die in captivity, rarely breed. Because they look so cute and they are small, they are very popular ias pets, particularly in Japan and Russia. However the pet trade is illegal, and directly contributes to their extreme suffering. Please watch here on YouTube Natural World, Jungle Gremlins of Java.
these videos should be removed if you want to know about th real loris watch this documentary on the pain and suffering these pooor creatures injure to become pets for morons watch this and change your mind
@enumerationpodcast It would be wonderful if you posted a link in your description to the BBC documentary here on YouTube - BBC Natural World: Jungle Gremlins of Java, so people can educate themselves about the plight of this animal.
@thethinkingcat not sure why you're getting all this invective for trying to spread the word about how videos such as these are misleading. I'm grateful there are people spreading the word. It doesn't just take money, everyone. Think how twitter has helped incredible changes in the world. Write to the owners of the videos asking them to put links in the description to info pages on this endangered & highly abused animal. Write to Wired magazine, who owns the rights to 2 of the most popular ones.
@enumerationpodcast if you actually do love this animal, please post a link in your description to the slow loris page in wikipedia and to the BBC documentary on YouTube, Jungle Gremlins of Java: youtube.com/watch?v=dhpw7UqTVnI. The pet trade directly contributes to their extinction & suffering. Help educate people.
Everyone: You can help save the slow loris from abuse by signing two petitions - change.org/petitions/save-the-slow-loris and go to the petition site dot com and do a search for slow loris. Also if you go to Facebook, you can join the group, little fireface project and post your concern there, it will be forwarded to the Indonesian government. Thank you thank you!
I want to give this pretty baby thumbs up but not to the voices, what'll I do..this is so ignorant and takes away the cuteness. Why do Americans need to run their fucking trap over everything. SHUT UP!
If someone buys one of these as a pet, it creates a market, so another slow loris will be removed from the wild to take its place. If we don't have them as pets (or for medicine) the market will stop & they will be left in the wild where they belong. If you love this animal, watch the BBC documentary here on YouTube, Jungle Gremlins of Java: youtube.com/watch?v=dhpw7UqTVnI. Read about the slow loris in Wikipedia. The pet trade directly contributes to their extinction.
Slow lorises in the videos are docile because it's their passive defensive reaction to threatening situations. The popularity of the slow loris as a pet means it is now listed amongst the 25 Most Endangered Primates of the World. Most animals entering the pet trade have their teeth cut, few survive this. Please educate yourself about this wonderful animal if you love it. Watch the BBC documentary Jungle Gremlins of Java, here on YouTube.
They are an endangered species -- and when they are captured from the wild for the pet trade (as they are) they have their elbow spurs clipped and their teeth yanked, and most of them die not long after they are sold because the missing teeth get infected or mean they can't eat properly. "Cute" things like this are hurting the animals -- at every level.
These videos are misunderstood by most who watch them. It's illegal in most countries to own them as pets and slow lorises in videos are docile as it's their passive defensive reaction to threatening situations.

Search for it as 'BBC Natural World: Jungle Gremlins of Java' and scroll down beyond the ones that are divided in parts, and you should find the one you can view, all in one part, posted by eDocumentaryVIDEO. Please, everyone, if you love the slow loris, watch this documentary.
Google "Jungle Gremlins of Java" if you want one of these as a pet. The animals are illegally caught in Indonesia & other countries for the pet trade. Their teeth are ripped out, they are kept in airless boxes. thrown about as if they are nothing more than stones, & then sold as 'pets' because they are cute. Every time one is bought, another gets caught. Some 'exotic' animals don't have to have teeth ripped out to be sold as pets, these do. The extractions cause infections and sometimes death.
This is very sad and sick!! You should not have this as a pet, because they are on the verge of extinction, and the loris put's his arm's up, not because he "like" it, but he feel's in danger, and normally in the jungle from his arms their comes a poison..so this is not funny, and it's really really sad and sick, you should go to jail for buying one.
The slow lorris is an endagered species. If you think this slow loris was cute and beautiful then don't think "i want one of these", think "i want to save these creatures" The illegal pet trade is the reason these animals are becoming extinct and videos like these are fueling this.
IT IS ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO WANT A LORIS AS A PET. WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW IS THAT THESE ANIMALS ARE RIPPED FROM THE WILD, TREATED BARBARICALLY BY THE ILLEAGAL PET TRADE - THIS INCLUDES WRENCHING THEIR FRONT TEETH & CLAWS OUT - WITHOUT PAIN KILLERS ETC TO MAKE THEM SAFE....

Once these animals are taken they need to be cared for. At least some are being lovingly looked after. Not the best environment but better than being released back to where they would certainly die. It's the traders who need to be hunted down not those looking after them.
I have just watched the BBC programme, which thankfully has brought the loris's plight to our attention. I expect many people who have these poor creatures are ignorant of how they may have arrived in their hands, through those very cruel poachers and traders. I'm not making excuses for them but hopefully they will now have their eyes opened. I watch many nature programmes and this is the first for a long time to make me cry.
some people are too ignorant for words... get some respect for animals!! i bet you would be disgusted if a child had been snatched, probably from its mother at an extremely young age, kept in horrendously unnatural conditions, absolutely terrified and videoed just for some attention.

All five species of slow loris's are going extinct thanks to 'cute' youtube videos. They have caused an increase in slow loris's as illegal pets. Taken from the wild, individuals have their TEETH WRENCHED out these are highly VENOMOUS (the only primates in the world to be so). Legislation has done little to stop these activities and awareness is key. PLEASE RE-PASTE THIS COMMENT

@DiamondHobbit they do bite, in fact, they're the world's only "venomous" primate, and their insizers transport the venom, doesnt kill humans, but has painful consequences.
@DiamondHobbit there were only a couple of reported "human" deaths from them biting, but it just causes excruciating pain, but not death, the toxin comes from a gland in their elbows, when they lick their elbows, the poison is licked onto the insizers and they bite, its not fatal, but it hurts alot
Hi everybody, I know this Slow Loris is freaking cute, but it's these kind of videos that make people want them! They are endangered and people pull their teeth out with no kind of knumbing medicines because they have a venomous bite, it's pretty obvious if they have a venomous bite that they are not meant for pets! Please spread this message! Copy and Paste this on popular videos like this to stop people from thinking that it's ok for people to have them as pets.
If they are endangered animals but people want them as pets, ownership should be legalized in order to save them. There is no shortage of dogs, cats, cows or other animals that people are allowed to own.
@yetislayer125 they'd just di, because if your immune system can't produce the anti-bodies, it wouldn't go away. I guess the one off lorris might be immune, but it would probs be rare. they're not used to our conditions and theirs something to do witht heir teeth not sure what exactly, but it can kill humans, so they remove their teeth. that's cruel. the only place they should be kept captive it one of those way out zoos that make the right conditions and don't mall with them all the time. :)
possibly, that is if humans can be trusted to leave them in peace and not destroy them or their habitat. shamefully most humans (especially those who live by their habitat) cant do that which means by getting accustomed to humans they are putting themselves at extreme risk. this will never be a good thing.
@kymrhymer They have survived millions of years in the wild, until humans came along -- now they are endangered because so many are taken to sell as pets, and as pets they die and don't breed.
@Skogsraaet no they're not. they're not legal anywhere! they're a highly endangered species. and because they're poisonous, they have a potentially lethal bite. are you going to take your chances or have its teeth cut or pulled out?
@Skogsraaet just keep in mind that %90 of the time this leads to severe bleeding, dental infection,shock and sometimes death. and how do you intend to properly care for a wild nocturnal animal when its going to be awake when you're asleep? not to mention common health problems seen in pet slow lorises. like undernourishment, tooth decay, diabetes, obesity, and kidney failure. Infection, stress, pneumonia, and poor nutrition lead to high death rates among pet lorises.
THIS SLOW LORIS IS A THREATENED SPECIES, NOW UNDER MORE THREAT BECAUSE OF THE PET TRADE. PLEASE LEAVE EXOTIC ANIMALS WHERE THEY BELONG.
Im not saying this Slow loris isnt loved, but this video sparks other people to buy them, and they may not look after them properly. This is not a domesticated animal. (this animal is TAMED, not domesticated) Big difference.
The slow loris is the world's only poisonous primate. Its venom is stored in an elbow patch: the loris will suck in the poison from the patch, then mix it around in its mouth before delivering a toxic bite. So, when illegal traders catch them and sell them on, they usually remove the hapless creatures' teeth - with wire cutters.
Please, people do not look at these videos and think its OK to own Slow Loris and other wild animals. They are not meant to be kept as pets, let them be in the wilds. These animals are not being bred, they are stolen from their habitats. All you are doing is encouraging poachers to further ravage their already abysmally low numbers. All so you could feel good about having some cute, exotic property.
Stop spreading the ignorance. If you love these animals, help them. The illegal trade of Slow Lorises is increasing because of their popularity on internet websites. Know the facts, there is no such thing as a loris breeder. They are banned worldwide as a pet (no exceptions). They are endangered animals and included in the CITES appendixes. Stop the ignorance!
Although the creature may look happy, it submits to being tickled as a passive defence-mechanism to deal with stress.The loris is a nocturnal animal and is effectively being blinded by the daylight in the videos.The only reason the loris isn't biting the person holding it in the video is because it has had its teeth ripped out with pliers,The teeth are removed because the loris, listed as vulnerable to extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, can deliver a toxic bite.
@hirohd If its so cruel to take animals out of nature then we wouldnt have any of the pets we have today. Cats, Dogs, even gerbils and small animals like that. I'm not saying its right, but its happend already, theres really no going back. Way I look at it is, if they take care of them and they live a generally happy life, then its fine.
@watchthatvid112 er..i think food dependent, and too much comfort is bad for animals. even humans too..that aside, human tends to neglect..its just a matter of time.
@watchthatvid112 The fact is keeping an animal like a slow loris happy and healthy is extremely difficult. These animals are illegally traded and fed wildly inappropriate diets and refrained from living a nocturnal life that in most cases is natural for them. As someone mentioned already, these animals are not bred. They are confiscated either from their mother in the wild (because they are so slow moving and thus easy to catch) or they are obtained when their mother dies of other causes.
@watchthatvid112 They AREN'T taken care of; their teeth are ripped out so that they can be sold as pets, they can't eat properly after that, most of them are hugely stressed and they die fast. And they are being hunted to extinction to keep selling them as pets!
@thethinkingcat dude....I honestly posted that comment so long ago i don't even remember a word of it...And I'm not going to go look for it because I don't really even care. take a look at the age of a comment before replying to it next time.
@thethinkingcat then don't fucking reply to a comment if it's not about my comment! just post a comment on the video. Are you really that much of a dumbass? My god, I swear you people dont think. Plus if you really want to stop what happening to them from happening post outside of youtube, cause I guarantee no one on youtube is ganna give a fuck about your comment.
@watchthatvid112 Wow, I hit a nerve with you, didn't I, poor dear. You really can't stand being contradicted, can you!
It's not a zero-sum game, you know; people are capable of taking a message into several venues at once, & it is actually important that the message "this is not ok" is very visible in the same venue as this kind of "advertising cute animals."
And finally -- you aren't actually capable of speaking for everyone, you know.
@thethinkingcat then don't fucking reply to a comment if it's not about my comment! just post a comment on the video. Are you really that much of a dumbass? My god, I swear you people dont think. Plus if you really want to stop what happening to them from happening post outside of youtube, cause I guarantee no one on youtube is ganna give a fuck about your comment.
@hirohd Why are people so sure these aren't rescued? And some animals need to be taken out of nature when they're not in the right habitat or it's even more cruel, like Cats and Dogs.
@SuperDuckyWho Almost 100% of slow lorises are taken from the wild. They don't breed well in captivity, and usually die very prematurely because their teeth are yanked to keep them from biting. "The right habitat" is the one where they are born, but videos like this encourage poaching because people pay to have them captured for the pet trade!
@thethinkingcat Just by getting rid of it doesn't mean it's not happening. That's the whole "book burning" ideology. If you really want to help these animals, spamming up a YouTube video isn't going to get you anywhere. People will see animals regardless, think "I want one of those" and go butcher a family of Bengals to get it. And almost %100 of the time THEY'RE RICH PEOPLE! It's not poor people keeping zoos of horror in their house.
@SuperDuckyWho If it were just "rich people" doing this, it wouldn't be as much of a problem; but viral-video advertising targets the middle class, and there are many people with a middling amount of purchasing power in the global middle class, and there is an increasing amount of demand in this demographic for "cute" exotic pets. Don't you think that wildlife conservationists are capable of noting where animals are sold?
@thethinkingcat I really don't know many people that can afford an exotic animal at the moment. Perhaps you are from another area of the globe, but where I am, middle and lower classes can't afford much more than a bunny (or chicken) as an exotic pet... and for the lower classes 9 times out of 10 that bunny (or chicken) is going to be dinner eventually. That argument is a bit of course, however. I just wanted to point out most people with the income to afford these pets-
@SuperDuckyWho - probably are being influenced by more than just a YouTube video and have it within their means to do whatever they want without caring too much for consequences regardless of what cruelty was inflicted.
@thethinkingcat If you were rich and in America, you'd be a super asshole snake, so knock it off, you are just angry for being poor and that is no one's fault. It isn't Super Ducky's fault nor mine or anyone elses. Everyone is just alike in many ways, I am actualized & have a developed sense of self, I do not assume what others want, I just look right at YOU and tell it like it is. So bugger off and just go sit down AWAY from the computer for a little while. As if you care anyway. Guffaw!
@thethinkingcat They're going to do what they do even without this video here... sad fact. The only way to stop it is through enforcing laws and putting new laws in place where needed. It's very hard but like I said, it will get more results than taking down videos of things that ARE HAPPENING ANYWAYS!
@SuperDuckyWho It isn't just speculation that seeing "cute videos" and other publicity drives demand in the pet trade -- it is something that has been noted and documented. "Viral videos" like this are **advertising**. That is why the message against this advertising needs to be in the same venue as the advertising itself.
@thethinkingcat This animals is cute. That can't be changed. If people see it there is a percentage that will think "I want one." So either you get rid of every mention of them and try to make it so no one ever sees them, or you simply educate people.
@SuperDuckyWho "So either you get rid of every mention of them and try to make it so no one ever sees them, or you simply educate people." Ok. Yes. We can't get rid of ALL the pictures -- ****so this is why there are all the comments -- to educate people.****
@thethinkingcat What is up with you? why bring so much negative vibes to a friendly little creature, the silly voices already screwed it up, I am free to say as I please. Are you from North Korea ..no if you were, you would not be able to talk to us from there...I don't know, try being friendlier to folks, you can teach w/ out being so controlling and sarcastic, and believe me, you did not hit a nerve w. me, but you are getting on people's nerves.
@thethinkingcat The Slow Loris are not your animals anyway, so why do you have a claim on them? There are people who care and who have money and who can give to societies who protect these creatures, it seems like they are being abused for NOT being mentioned. Not all people with money are greedy as you would be if you had money. I have lots of money and I know how NOT to be a greedy immigrant or some asshole from overseas clawing their way over here being materialistic. Did I hit your nerve?
@thethinkingcat So yes, comment here about how this is unfair and this poor little thing is looking at that worm for so long because he's wondering how the hell he's going to eat it without teeth, but for god's sake, don't remove it. Keep it here as proof. Ignorance isn't going to stop ignorance.
@SuperDuckyWho Not seeing "cute animals" being "cute" does, however, preclude a great deal of unthinking demand for them. This is the way the world works.
If making a thing visible to people who didn't think about it too deeply didn't work to sell a product, how many companies would advertise on TV? And when advertising is eliminated, don't you think that has an effect on the demand for the product?
@thethinkingcat This isn't an advertisement though. It's a clip, a blip of something that happened. And the internet exists. Pictures exist. People are going to see things, like animals, from other parts of the world. But even if you could take down every picture and video of slow Lorises on the net you would only hurt the cause of making their plight known. People need to see it. I didn't evn know what the hell a Slow Loris was before I saw this video.
@thethinkingcat We can certainly compliment the creature, it doesn't mean I will run out and break laws to bring them over, I can certainly apprciate them from afar. The animals belong to God our Father & not to man & not everything (regardless of poverty level) is to be eaten by man. we are suppose to have dominion over the animals, not kill them & not tell others what they can nor cannot say about them. It just reflects that we love little creatures& are not ready to gobble everything w/ legs

All five species of slow loris's are going extinct thanks to 'cute' youtube videos. They have caused an increase in slow loris's as illegal pets. Taken from the wild, individuals have their TEETH WRENCHED out these are highly VENOMOUS (the only primates in the world to be so). Legislation has done little to stop these activities and awareness is key. PLEASE RE-PASTE THIS COMMENT

@DiamondHobbit they do bite, in fact, they're the world's only "venomous" primate, and their insizers transport the venom, doesnt kill humans, but has painful consequences.

DiamondHobbit 2 months ago
@DiamondHobbit there were only a couple of reported "human" deaths from them biting, but it just causes excruciating pain, but not death, the toxin comes from a gland in their elbows, when they lick their elbows, the poison is licked onto the insizers and they bite, its not fatal, but it hurts alot

Hi everybody, I know this Slow Loris is freaking cute, but it's these kind of videos that make people want them! They are endangered and people pull their teeth out with no kind of knumbing medicines because they have a venomous bite, it's pretty obvious if they have a venomous bite that they are not meant for pets! Please spread this message! Copy and Paste this on popular videos like this to stop people from thinking that it's ok for people to have them as pets.

If they are endangered animals but people want them as pets, ownership should be legalized in order to save them. There is no shortage of dogs, cats, cows or other animals that people are allowed to own.

@yetislayer125 they'd just di, because if your immune system can't produce the anti-bodies, it wouldn't go away. I guess the one off lorris might be immune, but it would probs be rare. they're not used to our conditions and theirs something to do witht heir teeth not sure what exactly, but it can kill humans, so they remove their teeth. that's cruel. the only place they should be kept captive it one of those way out zoos that make the right conditions and don't mall with them all the time. :)

possibly, that is if humans can be trusted to leave them in peace and not destroy them or their habitat. shamefully most humans (especially those who live by their habitat) cant do that which means by getting accustomed to humans they are putting themselves at extreme risk. this will never be a good thing.

@Skogsraaet no they're not. they're not legal anywhere! they're a highly endangered species. and because they're poisonous, they have a potentially lethal bite. are you going to take your chances or have its teeth cut or pulled out?
8lu3m00n007 3 months ago
@Skogsraaet just keep in mind that %90 of the time this leads to severe bleeding, dental infection,shock and sometimes death. and how do you intend to properly care for a wild nocturnal animal when its going to be awake when you're asleep? not to mention common health problems seen in pet slow lorises. like undernourishment, tooth decay, diabetes, obesity, and kidney failure. Infection, stress, pneumonia, and poor nutrition lead to high death rates among pet lorises.

The slow loris is the world's only poisonous primate. Its venom is stored in an elbow patch: the loris will suck in the poison from the patch, then mix it around in its mouth before delivering a toxic bite. So, when illegal traders catch them and sell them on, they usually remove the hapless creatures' teeth - with wire cutters.

Please, people do not look at these videos and think its OK to own Slow Loris and other wild animals. They are not meant to be kept as pets, let them be in the wilds. These animals are not being bred, they are stolen from their habitats. All you are doing is encouraging poachers to further ravage their already abysmally low numbers. All so you could feel good about having some cute, exotic property.

Stop spreading the ignorance. If you love these animals, help them. The illegal trade of Slow Lorises is increasing because of their popularity on internet websites. Know the facts, there is no such thing as a loris breeder. They are banned worldwide as a pet (no exceptions). They are endangered animals and included in the CITES appendixes. Stop the ignorance!

Although the creature may look happy, it submits to being tickled as a passive defence-mechanism to deal with stress.The loris is a nocturnal animal and is effectively being blinded by the daylight in the videos.The only reason the loris isn't biting the person holding it in the video is because it has had its teeth ripped out with pliers,The teeth are removed because the loris, listed as vulnerable to extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, can deliver a toxic bite.

themorningperson 5 months ago
@watchthatvid112 The fact is keeping an animal like a slow loris happy and healthy is extremely difficult. These animals are illegally traded and fed wildly inappropriate diets and refrained from living a nocturnal life that in most cases is natural for them. As someone mentioned already, these animals are not bred. They are confiscated either from their mother in the wild (because they are so slow moving and thus easy to catch) or they are obtained when their mother dies of other causes.

@watchthatvid112 They AREN'T taken care of; their teeth are ripped out so that they can be sold as pets, they can't eat properly after that, most of them are hugely stressed and they die fast. And they are being hunted to extinction to keep selling them as pets!

@SuperDuckyWho Almost 100% of slow lorises are taken from the wild. They don't breed well in captivity, and usually die very prematurely because their teeth are yanked to keep them from biting. "The right habitat" is the one where they are born, but videos like this encourage poaching because people pay to have them captured for the pet trade!

@thethinkingcat Just by getting rid of it doesn't mean it's not happening. That's the whole "book burning" ideology. If you really want to help these animals, spamming up a YouTube video isn't going to get you anywhere. People will see animals regardless, think "I want one of those" and go butcher a family of Bengals to get it. And almost %100 of the time THEY'RE RICH PEOPLE! It's not poor people keeping zoos of horror in their house.

@SuperDuckyWho If it were just "rich people" doing this, it wouldn't be as much of a problem; but viral-video advertising targets the middle class, and there are many people with a middling amount of purchasing power in the global middle class, and there is an increasing amount of demand in this demographic for "cute" exotic pets. Don't you think that wildlife conservationists are capable of noting where animals are sold?
thethinkingcat 1 month ago
@thethinkingcat I really don't know many people that can afford an exotic animal at the moment. Perhaps you are from another area of the globe, but where I am, middle and lower classes can't afford much more than a bunny (or chicken) as an exotic pet... and for the lower classes 9 times out of 10 that bunny (or chicken) is going to be dinner eventually. That argument is a bit of course, however. I just wanted to point out most people with the income to afford these pets-

@SuperDuckyWho It isn't just speculation that seeing "cute videos" and other publicity drives demand in the pet trade -- it is something that has been noted and documented.

@SuperDuckyWho Not seeing "cute animals" being "cute" does, however, preclude a great deal of unthinking demand for them. This is the way the world works.
If making a thing visible to people who didn't think about it too deeply didn't work to sell a product, how many companies would advertise on TV? And when advertising is eliminated, don't you think that has an effect on the demand for the product?

@thethinkingcat This isn't an advertisement though. It's a clip, a blip of something that happened. And the internet exists. Pictures exist. People are going to see things, like animals, from other parts of the world. But even if you could take down every picture and video of slow Lorises on the net you would only hurt the cause of making their plight known. People need to see it. I didn't evn know what the hell a Slow Loris was before I saw this video.

@thethinkingcat We can certainly compliment the creature, it doesn't mean I will run out and break laws to bring them over, I can certainly apprciate them from afar. The animals belong to God our Father & not to man & not everything (regardless of poverty level) is to be eaten by man. we are suppose to have dominion over the animals, not kill them & not tell others what they can nor cannot say about them. It just reflects that we love little creatures& are not ready to gobble everything w/ legs
