A Long Island town says a business that allows customers to hold, feed and now sell sloths is defying a court order to stop operating. Its owner claims he's complying with the law. GusoffTV reports.
But the town of Islip has a ban on the sale of wild animals. It is seeking a contempt order against the business, saying in a statement,"They are determined to do whatever they want without regard for the law."Volunteers at Sloth Encounters include a retired science teacher.
"There is nothing cruel going on here. The animals are loved. He is hugging and kissing them. I think it's a cool place," Steve Mindlin said. This case has promoted a new bill that just passed the state Senate that expands the definition of wild animals to include sloths, banning their sale. Wallach points to 21 other states where sloths are legal to sell as pets."The intent of this bill is to protect the health and safety of New Yorkers.
