Youtube endangering the Slow Loris

Sometimes videos can help a species and sometimes it can be their downfall, sadly it looks as if the videos on the Slow Loris could be their downfall.

Oh that is so sad, why don't people realise that wild animals should stay in the wild. What a tragedy that we are so naive we think everything should become a 'pet'.

No doubt the demise of yet another wild animal.

This is a double tragedy Lai because not only are they taken as pets which is so wrong but they have their teeth pulled out so the owners don't get bitten as their bite is poisonous but sadly by doing this their mouth gets infected and they die pretty quickly, it is such an unneccessary waste of a beautiful life and it must also be a very painful way to die.

That is a scary thought that us online animal lovers can raise the popularity of species that inturn make them desirable and a target.

What a vicious circle!
