Their Teeth Are Ripped Out With Pliers

Babies are taken from their mothers in Indonesian rainforests and their teeth ripped out with pliers to make them ‘safe’.
They have been spotted at markets in Jakarta – the nocturnal creatures stuffed into cages, where they curl up to try to escape the scorching sun.
The Loris, which inspired the Furby toy, now face extinction.
It is illegal to bring a Loris to Britain, but they are thought to be smuggled in.
Few survive.
The tooth wounds don’t heal, or get infected, and they die a slow, painful death.
Others die from malnutrition because owners are ignorant of the diet they need.
The animals are traded to Japan, China, The Middle East, Europe and the US.
A large proportion die in transit.
