Whole Foods Protest Urging to Stop Forced Monkey Labor

Whole Foods is selling coconut milk from Thailand, even though PETA Asia investigations have revealed that monkeys in that country are caged, kept in isolation, chained for life, and trained through fear of punishment to pick coconuts. Many monkeys used in Thailand’s coconut-picking industry are abducted from their troupes in their natural forest homes when they’re babies. Handlers put metal collars and tethers on them and sometimes remove their canine teeth so they can’t defend themselves.
