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.

Photos like these are the reason I don't eat animals, especially mammals.

I love these pictures. I love animals that are rescued. They love and seem more happy in life then most animals. I rescued kittens that were thown away at one week old. Now they are three years o;d and full of love. I sometimes think, were would they be had I not picked them out of a trash can. I would not trade them for anything in the world.

This is so cute! I liked the sloth on Ice Age and the fact that he carried three Tyrannosaurus Rex eggs and put little faces on them.

Back in may I posted a video of baby sloth's from a rescue in Costa Rica. Up until I watched that video, I had never thought much about them. But, they really do have personalities just like other animals. I think they have just gotten a bad rap as lazy & stinky. Maybe if people just took the time to watch them and see their cute faces...we would all think differently when we hear the word sloth.
