"Pitched as an 'ethical' attraction focused on education and conservation, Sloth World was heralded as an opportunity for visitors to dial down the tempo in America’s theme park capital...."

"The planned destination in Orlando, Florida, would have given more than 40 sloths an indoor rainforest habitat in which to take life 'at their own slow and steady pace,' supported by 'science-informed care,' its owners promised.... It boasted that the furry residents 'come from a variety of situations across South America and beyond' and could live to be 55 years old there, compared with the average eight to twelve years in the wild.... But sloths are highly complex animals. Wrenched from their natural habitat, they rarely thrive in captivity; their chilled appearance and lack of a 'fight or flight' mechanism belies internalised stress."

I'm reading "The collapse of ‘Sloth World’: 32 dead and a criminal investigation/The exotic animal importers behind an ‘ethical’ day out in Orlando, Florida, are accused of failing to keep their star attractions alive" (London Times).
