Thanks to PETA, Animal Planet added a disclaimer to a video on its website of a slow loris “pet.” PETA was able to convince the TV network to note that slow lorises are an endangered species and shouldn’t be kept as pets and that the slow loris in the video is exhibiting a fear response, not a sign of pleasure.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”
— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
