Monkeying around with Peta won't workMaybe the controversy is not just about the monkey business and coconuts. News broke last week that major Western retailers including Waitrose, Co-op and Boots have started to ban Thai coconut products. Peta also said the monkeys are kept in cages barely large enough for them to turn themselves around in. Peta's allegations are that Thai coconut producers perpetuate animal cruelty to earn millions of dollars from products sold around the world. The reality, however, is that we seem stuck in the monkey business.
