I was on YouTube the other day and I watched clips on how Slow Lorises are not only endangered but, clips of people who have bought Slow Lorises through illegal trade ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_loris).
As you can see from the above pic that Slow Lorises are adorable and very desirable to those who like big eyed, cuddly looking animals but, the truth is -- Slow Lorises get abducted from their habitat by man and abused. They are not only abducted -- they go through stressful and harmful travel to the particular market where they're sold, which is usually on the streets in countries like Indonesia, they get their teeth yanked out, and they are caged -- surrounded by loud people, cars, pollution, dirty streets, and all in the name of money.
We can only hope that these criminals get caught for doing this evil to these cuties but, no such luck -- in many of the Eastern Asian streets they are sold in, the police are paid off and turn the other cheek...

The ugly truth about this is the Slow Loris might become extinct because of either greed, self-centered people who are looking at, "cute", and not the crime they are committing, or sheer apathy.
It's true that a Slow Loris might have a life with less stress, more comfort, love, and the Slow Loris might even find happiness with his/her new owners in his/her new home; but a Slow Loris will never feel at home as long as he/she is not in his/her natural habitat (as long as man doesn't succeed in destroying it). Slow Lorises existence has been jeopardized by humans in more than one way; destroying their jungles/forests, or abducting them.
Humans have almost destroyed more than one species of animal -- Slow Lorises, lions, tigers, the list goes on.
Can we make a difference in these animals lives? I don't know, can we? http://www.internationalanimalrescue.org/projects/25/Saving+the+slow+loris.html
