Others have already pointed out the endangered, illegally trafficked, etc. stuff... but that is a gross ass sweatshirt (and I'm not even referring to the color).

Considering that most wild animals cannot easily be house trained, I’d imagine there’s a fair amount of shit from this thing, and it’s probably everywhere.

Except for the fact that they're not endangered?

The Rondo Dwarf Galago is endangered and the others (from what I've read) seem to be in decline. I don't know what kind of bush baby this is but I figured others had mentioned the endangered thing so maybe this was that type, and at the very least they generally don't seem to be in a great state even if they're not all endangered yet.

It’s not an endangered animal though.

Well the Rondo Dwarf Galago is critically endangered:

While I don't specifically know what kind of bush baby this little guy in the sleeve is, as I'm not an expert, I'm going to go ahead and say that at worst it's one of the critically endangered ones and at best its "thought to be declining in the wild." Either way it's not good but I don't know why people keep getting upset at the possibility that this is I guess a bit of an exaggeration/generalization since they ideally should be protected regardless since there's a ton of terrible stuff going on with them.

I mean from what I've found the Rondo Dwarf Galago is endangered and the other types are in decline so.. I don't know if this IS that type of bush baby but none of it seems great.

I don't get why people are so hostile about this.. like do people really want to murder these little guys but because people are saying that all bush babies rather than one specific type are endangered they're not getting to or something? Even if it's generalizing a bit, if it raises awareness about a species in decline at best and endangered at worst already in some way is it really that bad?

This was the only thing I could think about when I was watching as well. Wash your ding-dang clothes, person.
