Interesting, I found this on wiki. Slow lorises are threatened by deforestation, the exotic pet trade, and traditional medicine.[16] All species are listed either as "Vulnerable" or "Endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The slow loris has become a popular but illegal pet, mostly in Japan, but also in the United States.[16] Its popularity has swelled due to popular YouTube videos showing them getting tickles.[9]
