  Pets & Animals

She is right, it looks content and relaxed, and riddle me this: if it wasn't enjoying it, wouldn't it try to stop it ? Stop being a pretentious asshole who pretends they love animals and stand up for their rights. Don't pretend you are a fucking zoologist or animal expert and step down from your might pedestal. Seriously, use common sense and look at the cute little guy.

this is disturbing !!!! ...how is this not illegal ?

[Millie Star]

that thing is scary and you keep that as a pet?

[Suckedintooblivion]

But you can. By educating people, you can change their opinions. At the zoo I work at, we get people coming and telling us that they will now be buying MSC certified fish and FSC certified paper and cardboard products after visiting our Lemur enclosure and Aquarium. That's what conservation education is about, and it makes us happy when it happens because it shows that people's views can be changed. :)

So cute

The only reason it's not doing anything, is because when they are captured, they get their teeth ripped out so they can't bite people. Apparently their bites are toxic. Get your damn facts looked over. This is a wild animal that should not be in anyone's home. Plain and simple.

Don´t blame me, blame the people who do this. And please don´t over react about everything. I know all that.

My comment was about overreactions at this video.

One thing is sure...one day the human being is not going to be in the Earth...BUT the planet will be here for sure.

I do my part in "conservation" but I can´t make people do the same thing. Nor you can´t.

At least I know I´m doing good. ;)

Owning a loris in a household environment is illegal. It's disgusting that it is still going on in advanced and civilised nations. :(

It is incredibly torturous to encourage an animal to use its defensive mechanism. Just step outside of your box, listen to the ethology experts, and watch the videos which tell the truth about videos like this:

We don't say things for the sake of saying things; we say things because we have enough experience to know what we're talking about.

[Suckedintooblivion]

It's not victory at all, it's a defence mechanism. Please watch the links I shared below, perhaps it will change your perception away from the bourgeois view of how nice it would be to have a wild animal as a pet, and more towards how we should be caring for these animals and investing time and money into their conservation and wellbeing. Humans are the worst thing to happen to wildlife. To clarify, I'm not a keyboard warrior, I'm a zoo employee with a knowledge of primate ethology (behaviour).

God, those adorable little fists raised in victory...so cute.

And you gotta love all these keyboard warriors screaming about how torturous and evil ticking a loris is. :D
