He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him
Lady Gaga, an American pop star, is once again in the crosshairs of animal rights activists. This time not for some bizarre dress in her wardrobe, like when he clothed himself in flesh, but why it was bitten by a slow Loris while filming her latest music video, “GUY (Girl Under You)”.
What was she doing on the set of Lady Gaga a Slow loris, an animal with giant eyes originally from Indonesia and in serious danger of extinction due to habitat loss and illegal pet trade? It was used for purely decorative purposes, of course.
Nor was it the only animal used for our entertainment by the well-known celebrity. A kangaroo cub and a goat were eligible to be used on the set. After the accident, the Loris was cut off and the goat was used as a replacement. This was good, according to Little Fireface Project founder Anna Nekaris.
Where did this specimen come from, given that its sale and trade is illegal? It may have come from a breeder, but it's so much more probable that it is a smuggled wild specimen, since captive breeding is practically impossible. These poisonous bite animals are increasingly in danger since the web consecrated them to star because of their big eyes. They are required and the illegal trade increases.
“Slow Loris are uone of the most sought after illegal exotic animals. Because it is extremely difficult to breed them in captivity, these fragile animals are stolen from nature by poachers in unsustainable quantities and are kept as pets in Asia, only to be illegally shipped all over the world, ”the expert said. mongabay.com.
In captivity they are generally unable to clean themselves properly and live in their urine and feces. Poachers usually they extract or file their sharp teeth to make them less dangerous for the owners.
these compassionate treatments, combined with unsuitable diets, they mean that many specimens die even before being sold. The elimination or limitation of the teeth means that the animals can no longer be released, because they are no longer able to provide for their own sustenance. They are doomed forever.
