This monkey doesn’t just pick coconuts

By The Nation

 

 

Pud, a three-year-old coconut-picking monkey in Songkhla’s Ban Tung Ree area, shows how it picks bunches of beans for its owner Ked.

 

“Since some trees are too high for humans to climb, we have trained monkeys to pick other fruits apart from coconuts,” Ked said, adding that a variety of fruit crops in the South are ready to be picked.

 

As for the report about British supermarkets banning Thai coconut products in response to a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) report claiming that Thailand was abusing monkeys in the coconut industry, Ked said this was false as monkeys in the South are treated like family members.

 

“They are only punished when necessary,” he said. “This is folk wisdom that has been passed down for generations.”

 

After Pud completed his work, he was rewarded with a carton of milk.

Shame they do not teach the children the same way instead of letting them ride motorcycles on the roads endangering other people................!!!!

The UK like complain about our monkey, help work, have good life more than “research” monkey in UK and USA. 

 

In the UK, around 3,000 monkeys are used annually. Much of this use is to develop and test the safety and effectiveness of potential human medicines and vaccines. Primates are also used for studying how the brain functions and in research relating to human reproduction.

 

And importing monkeys to the United States has become increasingly difficult as almost all commercial air carriers now refuse to fly the animals. Yet according to the new USDA figures, scientists used 75,825 nonhuman primates for research last year, up 22% since 2015 and 6% since 2008.

 

Torture

sounds like monkey business to me...

Oops...that wasn't supposed to get out. Looks like a ban on beans now too.

In the West we still use sheep and cattle dogs. They still have beagles for fox hunting. Dogs are use to flush out birds so they can be shot.

Whats the difference?

They will want guide dogs banned next.

A racist slur has been removed.

monkeys in the South are treated like family members

They are obviously the breadwinners of the family. Beware the day when they discover Online Gambling, Lao Khao, Ya Ba and guns.

Nevertheless, those monkeys are deprived of their freedom and chained all day and night. To free them is the right step, besides Thailand has an abundance of workless people. Coconuts and also the pictured very healthy stink beans can be picked even from high trees by other means, i.e. with a sharp sickle attached to a long bamboo pole or two. The abuse of animals, not only that of monkeys, has to stop, to enable them to live freely within their natural habitat. Think about elephants, the crocodile breeding practice, pigs in gestation crates and more. We as humans must look at any kind of mishandling of animals and stop it.

Yinn the next time you or your family, or friends need some medication to help control or cure a problem possibly to save there life i suggest you/they refuse it until you have all the details of the drugs development, but for once even though you like to attack on a daily basis any UK or USA comments on this forum, i agree with you about the monkeys picking coconuts, if it wasn't monkeys they would send there children up.

I doubt anyone other than Orientals eat stinky beans. I love them. Just be prepared for inquisitive glances when using urinals.???? 

And if PETA had their way any parent feeding their children meat would be in prison.  That's what I read in one of their articles several years ago.

I hope you are never in hospital and need the information gained from such research or are you going to say you would refuse treatment.......!!!

Budgerigars are not cage birds = let them fly same as natural.

 

 

Budgerigars in a natural environment.

When you get sick stop using western medicine. Stick to Thai herbs and amulets.
