Slow Loris in a dress

[Nic123100]

Just going though good old Facebook as you do to find an interesting picture posted up. An aquantaince has had a photo taken in Turkey with what looks to be a Slow Loris in a dress type item of clothing clinging onto her arm. Can anybody clarify this for me please?

Seems so sad that the poor animal has been made a stage animal, even considering how rare they are (if I'm right of course).

Here's the animal in question.

really dont see the point in that its like the dresses with dogs its not funny or even cute it would look a lot nicer without a stupid dress people like this just annoy me

just pointless

Just seemed so sad to me that such a beautiful animal has been made to act like a baby. Like people who dress chimps up in baby clothes and nappies, no need for it

that is so cute, and to be honest, who cares if its in a dress... this is not animal cruelty, its just a bit of silly fun.

People go on about how cruel it is to do such things, and to be honest its not, not feeding the animal is cruel, not giving it the right living conditions is cruel, being violent with it is cruel but dressing it up is just daft... just like my dog has a rabbit outfit cos its cute and if people don't like it they can go jump, because my dog goes to work with me and doesn't get left at home all day... which is cruel!

And being made into a stage animal isn't the slightest bit unfair to it? Fair enough spoil your pets but this to me seems to have crossed the line a bit. But thats only my opinion, and you're entitled to yours.

when i put my 4 year old in a dress she says im the worst mummy ever (she likes jeans!) am i being cruel?
I think its cute and no harm no foul. and obviously its only put on for short stints as if it was in it all the time it would be a bit dirty.

do you disagree with all animals being used for human pleasure then? like horse riding, or in zoo's? or dogs on britains got talent? or even crufts?
its all the same to me. Though you cant just tell from a pic, it doesnt look in distress for havin a dress on, nor does it look badly treated. it looks beautiful, i wonder if it will tell me where it got its dress from, and if they do it in my size

id say it was way more distressing for you to be seen in that dress... its not purple!

it's in a dress not a food blender; lighten up. It's friends aren't going to point and laugh, it's not going to have its lunch money stolen and get beaten up for being weird.
There's no harm in it and no animals were hurt in the wearing of the dress.

Seriously are u lot failing to see the point these animals are drugged in order to placify them, they pocess venom glands on the lee elbows and can inflict a nasty bite! 90 percent of the time they kill the parents to get the babys so yes this is defanatly cruelty!
