Dozens of sloths died before opening of Sloth World attraction in Florida - BBC
Overview
Dozens of sloths died before the planned opening of a Florida Sloth World attraction after being shipped to a warehouse; many succumbed to harsh conditions there and others arrived from South America already dead. A Florida wildlife regulator closed its investigation without issuing a written warning or citation, and multiple other agencies are continuing probes. The incident highlights animal-welfare and safety problems in the trade and transport of wild animals and raises public‑health concerns associated with moving exotic species.
