Toronto Star Picture Editor Wanda Goodwin shares these delightful images from a little known animal sanctuary in Costa Rica.
The center shelters over 100 orphaned and injured sloths which receive rehabilitation before being returned to the forest, according to Judy Arroyo, a co-owner of the sanctuary.

From Vegan Reader.........
If I tell you that Sloths are people, how do you respond?
Likely, you think, “no, human beings are people. Animals are not people.”
That is how most humans are raised to think about all species other than their own, but naturalists like John Muir, who spent the majority of his life in the wilderness, came to feel differently about the class of creatures we refer to as ‘animals’. He came to think of his fellow beings as other tribes of people, with lifeways and heritages, with purposes and important places in the story of Earth.
Today, the majority of human problems come from human failure to recognize the humanity in members of their own species. Bigotry, greed, fear, deceitfulness and the hunger for power cause humans to turn against one another once the decision has been made that some other person is of less value than one’s own self, and can therefore be abused or disregarded.From Vegan Reader.........
