webfact Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 A chained monkey forced to pick coconuts for hours. The Thai headline says, “Don’t torture monkeys.” Photo: Sanook.com By The Guardian, Daily Mail and Sanook.com MEAL kit provider HelloFresh, which is based in Berlin, Germany, said it will no longer sell coconut milk sourced from Thailand as it does not support any form of animal cruelty across its supply chain, the company announced on Monday (Mar. 6). The move is in line with many brands in the West that have stopped selling some Thai coconut products over recent years after campaigning by Peta, which said that it had investigated Thai coconut farms and found chained monkeys that were forced to spend long hours climbing trees and picking coconut. Abuse of primates was “rampant”, the group has said. It also called on Thai government officials to investigate the abuse of the monkeys at these coconut plantations.
