People owning wild animals because it's "cute" is fucking disgusting. You know that Youtube video of a slow loris holding an umbrella?
Yeah, see, you can't breed lorises in captivity. It's pretty fucking difficult. You know what isn't difficult though? Taking a baby out of its tree while its mother's out foraging. So guess which one these "breeders" actually do.
Lorises are purely nocturnal. They do not function well when you completely flip their sleeping schedule, and stress can easily lead to a ton of disorders. They're the only toxic primate though, so you'd think people would avoid keeping them as pets, right? Nah, no worries, just pull their fucking teeth out with wire cutters. Not by a surgeon of any kind of course, since smuggling's crazy illegal. Just you know, grab this animal and pull its teeth out. It'll probably die on the way to its new home anyway so eh, who gives a shit.
A lot of these cute pet primates were taken from their parents when they were way too young, which causes severe psychological damage to them. If the poachers find the parents along with the baby, they'll just kill the parents. Because eh, the parent might, you know, bite you when you try to take its baby for some reason.
Dogs and cats have been specially bred to live with us. Primates aren't. They don't want to wear clothes. They don't want to stay in your tiny, filthy house. They can be violent fucking animals, especially when they've been stressed out and psychologically abused repeatedly. Hell, even fucking zookeepers don't trust a primate to not wig out on them, and they actually know what they're doing. Whenever a "tame" primate freaks out, the owners act so fucking surprised. Yeah, it's almost as if it's a highly intelligent wild fucking animal.
Goddamn I hate people.
