MIS EXPRESS

Even though it is illegal, some people still take the Slow Lori out of their natural habitats and take them as pets. This causes them suffering for many reasons: light, travel and their teeth.

 

First, the Slow lorises are nocturnal animals. Nocturnal means that they’re active at night time. This means that they sleep in the daytime and are awake at night time. Therefore, being kept in a brightly lit room is incredibly uncomfortable and causes pain and suffering.

Slow lorises can’t live naturally in a cage. In the wild, they travel a lot to find food -- making confinement in a small cage incredibly cruel. In the wild, the slow loris would feed on a complex diet of fruits and insects, and owners often struggle to meet these special dietary needs. This leads to obesity as well as other serious health problems such as infection, pneumonia, diabetes, metabolic bone disease, and malnutrition.

 

Slow lorises have a venomous bite that is harmful to humans. They can deliver a venomous bite. This can cause anaphylactic shock and even death in humans. Because their teeth are dangerous for people, they cut the Slow Lorises teeth off. This is really painful for them.

 

There are laws that protect the Slow Lorises, but people are breaking the law. The problem is that they are endangered. There are almost no Slow Lorises left in the world! So, tell people to stop buying them, and we can still have Slow Lorises in our society.
