The Sloth Institute makes every effort to educate the public about the ethical practices of tourism and enjoying wildlife such as sloths. The country of Costa Rica and The Sloth Institute do not condone the practice of paying or visiting establishments that offer to hold, feed, or take photos with sloths. The sloths you see at these tourist attractions have been kidnapped from the wild and treated poorly. The businesses are unethical. If you truly love sloths, we urge you to please follow ethical tourism.

Thank you for your online story of reuniting the baby sloth with its mother, and teaching us to leave them alone. As far as being dangerous, we feel that you educated us about who’s dangerous to whom?
