| Shocking news broke two days ago that the Sloth Sanctuary Costa Rica has allegedly been mishandling, abusing, and otherwise neglecting sloths. Further, the “sanctuary” has been confining sloths in small pens and using them for photo opportunities, rather than rehabilitating them and releasing them back into the wild.
Click here and sign our petition today demanding the Costa Rican government investigate the allegations made by the Sloth Sanctuary’s former veterinarians.
Only the Costa Rican government can intervene and assist in the rehabilitation and release of the animals currently confined at the Sloth Sanctuary compound. They must take immediate action to ensure the health and well-being of the ever-increasing number of sloths that are captive there.
Please sign today and demand the Costa Rican government take action!
For the animals,

Inexcusable but not surprising. Too many facilities like this, e.g., the Gaza Zoo, creating terrible lives for animals. If they would resolve to do better and clean up their act, maybe they could get aid from international groups.
