Chill out and give some explanation. If you have a valid argument for your feelings I'll leave your post. otherwise we'll consider it as flaming. Either way, it may undergo a bit of an edit because it's slightly over the top.
how do you know this person can't keep the animal correctly. Sorry but you are way jumping the gun (unless you know they person). I thought that is what you might mean, and judging by your other thread, I was right. Not everyones an immature 17-30 year old

Language like that will result in an extended stay off the forum! I think you need to re-evaluate your vocabulary. The next time you disagree with someone, try and add some information as to WHY you disagree, instead of shouting hate and profanity.

get real............it will live in a cage........?????????
so..................how would you house this animal.........
maybe in a specified room. I dont know i dont keep them. A room that also leads to an outside aivary type structure so can move from one to the other. Like i said, i dont keep them lol. Guess when i think of cage, i think small. Prefer the word enclosure lol
Lemurs, all Lemurs are from the Island of Madagascare and are endangered, all 21 or 23 of them. Lemurs are very social animals that live in large groups in the wild, anywhere from 15-20 will be found in a single group. Their range extends as far as it can, even into towns, but the range stops where another lemurs range beigins.
This is why they should not be pets. Especialy baby ones. Oh sure their cute, I know from experience:
They grow and can become very tame.... OR extremly wild and capable of serious injuries. They need alot of attention and unless you work at home, I don't think your school or workplace will allow a Lemur running around with you.
I do not believe they should be sold as pets.

Disagree. If they are captive born, it is not a problem if they are endangered or not, just like with most animals. Zoos are not all that, and many people can care for these animals, just as well, and in some cases, better. When you said lots of attention, does this mean your going to sleep with them too, as most of the smaller ones (the smallest being the pygmy mouse lemur) are in the main nocturnal. Oh and just so you know, Madagascar is not the only island to have lemurs.
