Costco Pulls Milk Over Allegations It Was A Product Of Forced Monkey Labor | The Daily Caller

By Thomas A. Smith

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) put out the findings of an investigation that found Monkeys in Thailand are kept chained, abusively trained and forced to climb trees to pick coconuts that are used to make milk and other products.

Some monkeys used in the Thai coconut business are allegedly illegally abducted from their families and homes when they re just babies. Monkeys are fitted with metal collars and kept chained, reportedly not allowed to socialize with others. Monkeys are then responsible for twisting heavy coconuts until they fall off, all while chained to metal collars, per PETA.
