of a cute little animal called a slow loris being kept as a pet and tickled

if you knew the tickling a slow loris is actually

And that slow lorises are suffering terribly

as result of the pet trade, fueled by these videos.

if I told you that before a slow loris is sold as a pet

it's teeth are removed without anaesthetic.

Would you still want to watch it and share it with your friends?’

If  I told you that this loris has her arms up because she is terrified and

is trying to protect herself by gathering venom from a gland inside her elbow

Thousands of lorises are viciously poached from the wild

to be illegally sold on the street or in markets

Now do you still want to support the trade?

Lorises are smuggled in dark, overcrowded

and airless containers, alongside the bodies of other lorises that have died.

If I told you that bright lights hurt their eyes,

suffer from malnutrition that.  In the wild

slow lorises travel long distances at night

to keep one in a cage? If you had seen the things

that the vets at International Animal Rescue have seen

you would know that the slow loris pet trade needs to stop.

So please, stand with me and help expose the truth

I'm TV traveler who is lucky enough to have seen

slow lorises in the wild. Please do not support

sign the pledge today and together we can work to expose the truth

sign the pledge - expose the truth and together
