Florida Democrat ‘appalled’ by report 31 sloths died in storage warehouse
The Hill ^ | 04-24-2026 | Tolu Talabi

Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) said on Thursday that he was appalled by a report about the death of 31 slots who died under the care of Sloth World, a tourist attraction in Orlando that wasn’t yet opened to the public.

The slots were from South American rainforests, and perished in storage warehouses between December 2024 and February 2025, according to an incident report by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

“These sloths — naturally solitary animals — were put in the worst conditions possible,” Frost said in a Thursday post on X. “They were taken from their natural habitats to a packed warehouse that wasn’t properly heated and allowed for the spread of deadly viruses, leading to a stress-induced death.”

"Those were our voters!," shouted an angry Frost. "Those were our constituents and we blame the White House for assassinating these innocent immigrants."

Typical Democrat.

Display more empathy and concern for animals than they do for people.

Thousands of illegal immigrants died try to get to the US year after year but that was okay with them.

Rapes, Child trafficking all fine because it was for a greater cause.

POWER.

I think dead sloths are a tragedy. It began when they were nabbed at their happy homes minding their own business, arrested withut good cause, and left to die in conditions no one should ever have to put up with..

The alleged humans who did that to them need to pay huge fines. If I were in charge, I’d put them in jail. They probably stole the animals, prove me wrong,

Dead Sloths would be a good band name.

she’s right. Republicans should get behind this as well. Whoever’s fault it was should be prosecuted. If a corporation, a big, fat fine would be in order. What a horrible use of the Lord’s resources.

I was going to liken the sloths to DemonRAT welfare queens but realized that the poor sloths don’t deserve the insults.

Agree. Some people want to make everything political but this shouldn’t be a political issue.

Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) must have been apoplectic over the torture and deaths of thousands of beagles by Anthony Fauci.

It is disgusting. God made us stewards of His Creation. This is slovenly and slothful on the part of the "Sloth World". Good God, walk down any street and you'll see enough sloths to last you a lifetime.

Leave the critters be. They don't want to live in some low IQ influencer's get rich scheme. Probably thought it was a good idea after a few shots of rum and tokes of Maui Wowie. Let's lock these sinful Tik Tokers in a cage for a few months.

Maxwell Frost is a Wannabe-BLM-Revolutionary Nutball, given to political Sit Ins and race baiting; but this is very different.

That facility “Sloth World” now has a terrible reputation! Might be best to fire all management and start completely over with a new Mission Statement and delegation of duties.
31 animals ‘sacrificed’ to disorganization, lack of readiness and bad communication with suppliers.

Similar disasters happened early 20th Century, when American zoos and circuses tried to import and house Emperor Penquins, who turned out to be extremely picky about their environment and their need for constant darkness at night, without any flashes of light from people’s cameras or cell phones.

Just leave the critters where they were born. Florida has enough invasive species anyway. Starting with New Yorkers.

How do they know winter is coming in Florida?
