Episode Details

Florida’s wildlife commission is cracking down on sloth ownership after a tragic incident at Sloth World that killed over 50 sloths. New rules would require applicants to be 18+, prove 1,000 hours of sloth experience or 500+ plus pass a test, and undergo facility inspections—but critics say it’s not enough. Conservation groups argue sloths are still lumped in with squirrels, with no real upgrades to enclosure size or diet standards. They also demand mandatory death reporting to catch problems early—something the proposal ignores. Plus, it’s unclear if existing owners will be covered. Public comments are open as the commission weighs next steps.
