On the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species all 5 species of Slow Loris are listed as vulnerable or endangered. All populations are listed as decreasing.

These animals are harvested from the wild to become pets, their habitat is shrinking and once captured a third of infant loris' die in transit from a lack of maternal care. The population of the Javan Slow Loris has halved in just 20 years primarily due to the pet trade.

The desire to own these animals is driving them towards extinction.

No offense but it is because of people like this that a lot of species have also been saved, after they went extinct in the wild.

@cokerainbows apart from the madagascan government and logging companies are cutting down all the trees and forest.

I knew a Slow Dolores once. Not much of a looker, but such a sweetheart.

besides, you're all so uncouth. they prefer the term Velocity-Challenged Loris. or Turtle-Rats.

This is actually a FAST Loris so fuck you all. - Owner

to all owners of these animals, if you're gonna keep them, then you sure as hell better take good care of them!

cuz if you're not gonna give them a good home, then maybe putting them back in the wild would be better

[cokerainbows]

@Inari because nothing eats them you idiot! thats not the point, these animals should be left in the wild, instead of being used as pets!

[cokerainbows]

Slow lorises are threatened by deforestation & the exotic pet trade, are hunted for their large eyes as local traditional medicine, turned into a wine said to alleviate pain, often eaten dried or smoked for food. They are listed as "Vulnerable" "Endangered" by the IUCN. An illegal pet in Japan and United States. Popularity due to YouTube videos showing them being tickled.

Google "slow loris + wiki". Read the wiki about them for yourselves...

@lorises80 Why don't people then just start breeding these animals? This way the illegal demand will decrease (so less animals will be treated badly) and more people gonna be able to get one legally as pets.

@gegenhippies12 It's human family did not teach it how to hunt or what to hunt. In fact it was three years old before it was allowed out of the house. This was pure natural instinct. BTW quit bring the fucking hypocrit.
