LONG ISLAND - Invites on social media for so-called sloth parties boast opportunities for those who attend to "carry them around, take pictures, and get lit." Humane Long Island protested outside Tuesday night's Islip Town Board meeting calling for immediate change. This comes after the nonprofit filed a motion to intervene in Suffolk Supreme Court arguing Larry Wallach, owner of Sloth Encounters in Hauppauge, is failing to comply with court orders to close. "I think it's atrocious," said John Di Leonardo who is the executive director of Humane Long Island.
