ABC7: Target is the latest company to drop Chaokoh coconut milk over allegations of forced monkey labor.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, said the retailer will no longer sell the product because of its alleged ties to monkey labor.
Chaokoh’s Thai supplier is accused of forcing monkeys to pick coconuts from the trees, CNN reported.
In a statement to USA Today, Target said it takes those claims seriously and removed the product in November. more
Wait until they find out Amish use horses to grow food
PETA – People eating tasty animals.
That’s fine. I won’t eat at a Chinese Buffet again because… it’s a Chinese buffet.
They should have picked their own coconuts.
Wambam: Many years ago we had an Asian Buffet restaurant catch fire. The number of rats running for their lives from that fire was not to be believed.
Did Costco or Target bother to get the monkey’s side of the story? I didn’t think so.
You show me a dog with a job and I will show you a dog that lives a fulfilling life. My mother used to have a kitten with a wire tail because we would take hounds hunting that had suffered injuries and were stapled up a week earlier. What she finally came to understand is that if they were left home they would more likely than not do more damage to themselves than they would suffer hunting.
I suspect these monkeys love their work.
What about honey? Will they quit selling honey because bees are in forced labor?
Yeah, I don’t have the whole story so this outrage is boring me.
I would imagine the monkeys would move on if they were being treated like crap. Plus, they can rip a man’s arm clean off. Shit, maybe the monkeys run the joint and the people work for them. lol
Whut about the monkey in the White House that they’re forcing to be President???
OH MY GOD,NOOOOO!!!!
What’s next?
FUBU Jeans?
Uppity monkey went and hit me on the head with a shovel.
Send in the Seals to free the monkeys
Don’t monkeys do that naturally?
Cate they do.
I’m sure these particular monkeys, they get rewarded for it with their own coconuts and nuts and bananas to do the work. lol
Are the Obama’s unemployed now?
Silkworms are on the picket line!
They are only upset because all efforts to unionize the monkeys and collect dues have failed.
Instead of using monkeys in such a cruel way, they should just sit under a coconut tree and wait. Sooner or later a coconut will fall down and hit them on head. If they don’t die from it, they make a nice little profit without using the poor monkeys.
Target just decided they would not sell “My Pillows” from now on. Target is just K-Mart for commie faggots.
Tony R. We’re the rats running away from the cockroaches?😏
Better to chop the monkeys up for bush meat & release another AIDS like pestilence on the world.
Wambam I know the Chinamen were running from the fire, what about the rodents? And the not-dead-yet cats?
Those monkey’s would have been Astronauts in the 60’s but no. The damn humans took their jobs & relegated them to menial tasks.
I wonder what stance PETA has on all the monkey-spanking that goes on at junior high schools.
Bart. The cats are probably dead before they leave your neighborhood. The rodents, not so much.
Are they paying the monkeys a minimum wage of 15 bananas/hr? Are they using howler monkeys or are they exploiting spider monkeys?
What would do-gooders do with their lives without an endless number of things to snivel about?
But what about all the union monkeys that are milking it voluntarily?
What about the monkeys running our former government??
Maybe there’s an answer, but just how do you force a monkey to do anything in a tree?
However, selling Apple products that were built by slave-labor is A-OK.
Former government, Anon?
Of course you mean the obama admin.
