Animal lovers...
As an animal lover Im am horrified by the number of the 'cute' slow loris videos being shared by my friends on FB.So Im sharing a few truths ..
No, its not nice but it needs to be known what goes into getting the cute videos..
Im begging people to please stop sharing these videos via FB .
In doing so you are inadvertantly giving animal trafficers and animal abusers a platform to share their vile trade..
The slow loris and other related animals are not cute pets they are beautiful wild animals and should be left to roam the forests not be caged and poked by humans..
Please if you see these videos inform whoever is sharing them of the truth behind the pet trade.

Re: Animal lovers...
A great many animals suffer at the hands of man Cass, I agree. Everytime there is another whim or craze started, like Harry Potter and white owls, or a 'Celebrity' with a new pet, more creatures suffer.Sometimes I blame parents too, for giving in to their kids "wants" and buying unsuitable pets in the first place.

Luckily this poor little mite is now in the care of professionals at a zoo.
With dogs they say the worst thing that can happen for a breed is for it to be in a film or win crufts.. Then everyone wants one and every back yard breeder is churning them out.

The fact that only about 50% of their claimed users actually do use the service is immaterial.
Advertiser know that 'trendy' sells product and right now FB is 'trendy' with the non thinking, I wanna be liked, thirty somethings.
But like turning around a giant ocean going liner closing them down will be difficult much as I agree with you and much as I would like (single handed) to do it
