OH MY GOSH

I have two hands and three foods.

I hate to be that guy, but please do your part to research the slow loris pet trade. These guys do not do well in captivity at all (they’re extremely stress-sensitive and have finicky nutrition requirements), are nearly impossible to breed in captivity (so all pet lorises are wild-caught), and often undergo horrible treatment before sale, including but not limited to having their teeth ripped out with pliers or wire cutters to convince unaware customers that the animal is a baby. Around 95% of slow lorises involved in the pet trade die of dental infection or malnutrition.

In addition, it should be noted that all five slow loris species are either vulnerable or endangered, and the loris pet trade is completely illegal. Despite this, viral videos and .gifs showing their cuteness have caused the demand to spike. I’m not going to tell anyone what to reblog or not reblog, but if you’re going to reblog this, at least take the chance to educate people.
