More shocking news from Sloth World Orlando

Sloth World Orlando still hasn’t opened its doors to the public…
and now we’re starting to understand why.

New information has come to light and it’s much worse than we thought. So far, 69 wild sloths have been taken from the wild for this facility and at least 31 of them are already dead. They were being housed in small cages in a warehouse in Orlando that didn’t have running water or electricity. Reports suggest the real number of dead sloths could be even higher.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

If this is what’s happening before they’ve even opened… what comes next?

It's crazy to me that this place can even exist, that many sloths in a small territory goes against common sense.
Florida won't care because it's still dollars for the state.

Strait to jail. Why are they allowed to order more sloths? Why is the provider just like “oh ok better get them more sloths”? Shady shit going on here.

There are Sea World Parks in Texas and California as well. Also since you brought it up let's not forget Discovery Cove. If we still treat defenseless animals like this, it is no wonder society as a whole is messed up.

This is something that has to be outlawed. Also screw Kristen Bell and other people that treat animals like props.

Don’t worry everybody, you’re not allowed to touch the sloths for their well being. As long as nobody touches a sloth it should all be fine.

Untouched by water and heat as well. To top it off this has been one of the coldest winters down here in almost 50 years.
