The Long Island business Sloth Encounters has been ticketed for possession of wild animals and other alleged violations.

In Suffolk County District Court on Wednesday, attorneys for the business pleaded not guilty, saying the animals are treated well and the venue has proper permits.

"These are solitary, sensitive, nocturnal animals who should be sleeping when they're being exploited and harassed during daylight hours," said John De Leonardo, with Humane Long Island.By phone, the owner told CBS2 he has thousands of visitors who love the sloths, adding the animals were born in captivity and are happy and healthy.
