I know this is a little off-topic but I found some articles on illegal logging in Indonesia as well as illegal gold mining in that area as well, and I wonder if it does has some siginfigant corelation with the slow loris pet trade.<br /><br />Considering this, I decided to look with the wiki page on slow loris conservation. From what I'm reading, the slow loris is like a capuchin monkey; cute but horrible little biters. I read the article this is linked to and from what I can read there, apparently there was someone commenting who lives where those critters are common and notes that the locals would not consider having one as a pet because they're apparently quite vicious when cornered.<br /><br />Noting that I just mentioned capuchin monkeys, I have to relate the teeth pulling of lorises to what many "monkey babies" have to also go through. I was watching a documentary on Nat Geo in which a woman, who apparently is an "expert" in this told the camera that it is mandatory to pull the teeth of the monkey so they don't bite. It's unbelievably shocking when you hear that and then see it happening to these adorable lorises, although the monkeys are probably anthesied first before the procedure, many vets will not proform it.<br /><br />Sorry for the off-topicness, but it was starting to remind me of that.CloudSampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459873067554831037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-34254155532810277902011-03-31T16:28:09.133-05:002011-03-31T16:28:09.133-05:00Let's call chuck loris !

A crime is when one person commits an immoral act upon another person. Exploiting animals who can't defend themselves or ever hope to have a chance against man is repulsive. I'm not at all religious, but the word that comes to mind is "sin." What good are we if derive joy from exploiting a living creature that has no recourse but to submit? I feel great shame and rage.Jakethyhttp://www.playwithmyfood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-32762251266919350222011-03-30T06:24:21.644-05:002011-03-30T06:24:21.644-05:00How sad the way some humans treat the other creatu...How sad the way some humans treat the other creatures on this planet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-6368213424591008862011-03-29T22:56:43.108-05:002011-03-29T22:56:43.108-05:00Swift, I was thinking of you when I wrote the post...Swift, I was thinking of you when I wrote the post.
