Analysis Summary
31 sloths died at a warehouse owned by Sloth World Orlando between December 2024 and February 2025 โ€” 21 from cold exposure after a heating system failure during a 46-degree night, and 10 from poor health and emaciation after arriving from Peru. The warehouse lacked proper permits and heating infrastructure; a co-owner told FWC there was no running water or electricity initially, though Sloth World disputes this and claims a virus killed the animals. FWC conducted an inspection and found no violations or intentional misconduct, issuing only a verbal warning for improper cage sizing, but a separate county stop-work order was subsequently issued for the unpermitted facility. The attraction has not yet opened.
