Investigation shines spotlight on monkeys from Thailand, treated like slaves and used to exhaustion to harvest coconut
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himChained, confined in cages so narrow that they do not even allow you to turn around and forced to climb trees to collect up to a thousand coconuts every day, destined for our supermarkets. A Peta investigation has turned the spotlight on the appalling treatment of Thailand's monkeys, treated like slaves.
As a result, some UK supermarkets have already banned 'Chaokoh' coconut milk after the brand's supplier was involved in PETA Asia's first undercover investigation into the use of monkeys in harvesting Thai coconuts.
We had already told you about the dark and terrible side of the coconut industry, and now this new investigation confirms this horror, as well as the existence of real training schools to get to have free labor (and zero "complaints") . Thus, the monkeys spend their days working until exhaustion.
These macaques are enslaved to harvest our coconut
Peta Asia investigators documented chained monkeys - allegedly illegally captured from puppies - and forced to climb palm trees. When they weren't working as machines, animals were tied up, chained to old tires or confined to cages barely larger than their bodies.

In the facilities, the monkeys exhibited repetitive and stereotyped behaviors, indicative of extreme stress. A monkey in a cage on the floor of a truck repeatedly shook its cage in a desperate and futile attempt to escape. Another howler monkey on a rope was frantically trying to escape from a manager. An investigator has learned that if monkeys try to defend themselves, their canine teeth are even removed.

"These curious and highly intelligent animals are denied mental stimulation, companionship, freedom and anything that would make their life worth living, all to use them to harvest coconuts," says Ingrid Newkirk, president of PETA. . "PETA believes that virtually all of Thailand's coconuts are harvested from abused monkeys and asks people to buy coconut products that come from elsewhere."
