Slow Loris in a dress

[Nic123100]

Zoo's are very different to me, well 'most' are as they do try to help build up the numbers of endangerd animals and they do, to an extent, educate people about the animals that are kept.

I don't disagree with all aspects of animals being used for human pleasure however I do disagree with some i.e - circus' etc.

With regards to clothes on animals, if you have a dog with shorter fur in cold weather then put it in a waxed dog coat to help keep it warm, I know one of mine wouldn't even touch the snow last year without his coat because he gets cold and won't move. My other dog hates his coat and after only trying it on has never worn it again. Again putting a slow loris in what looks like a barbie doll dress can't be comfortable.

I just think theres a certain line that is sometimes crossed when it shouldn't be. But, as said that is only my opinion.

Can't speak for this occasion but it is quite common to see certain animals including slow loris' dressed up for tourists abroad to have photos taken with.
The point of whether having it dressed up for photos is cruel or not is a matter of opinion, however most of these animals that are used in this way, are generally drugged up with tranquillisers to stop them being too erratic and to stop any possible bites to tourists, some die of overdoses of drugs, often being given too much that they can barely move. That is cruelty.
Like I said I can't comment on that particular photo, but this certainly happens and it is a lot more sinister than just an animal being dressed up.

The fact its being used for photos is unfair.

The fact it rare because of humanity is unforgivable.

The dress is just darn cute...!

Some things are fair and some are not. At least its not in a lab getting tested for toxins it produces or other such horrors!

I do understand where you're coming from, and yes it could be worse. Yes the little loris does look admittedly adorable and it's hard not to say awww but it's also kind of sad that us humans always seem to play the power game.
