Target drops Coconut milk due to allegations of Monkey labor

In a statement Monday, PETA said the retailer dropped the product because an investigation conducted by the nonprofit organization found that the Thailand-based Theppadungporn Coconut Co. has been "exploiting monkeys and lying about it." Target joins Costco (COST), which dropped the milk in October.

 

PETA's investigation found that monkeys are forced to pick coconuts and perform for tourists, and that they are "tethered, chained to old tires, or confined to cages barely larger than their bodies." Multiple investigations by PETA Asia found widespread use of monkey labor throughout Thailand's coconut farming industry. Some companies have changed their practices, PETA said, but others simply hide the monkeys when auditors come to check on the animals.

 

LMAO :ANYWORD:
