Take action on monkey useDenial alone won't help. To disprove the allegations of monkey abuse in Thailand's coconut business, the Commerce Ministry has no other option but to face up to the matter. The claims made by Peta have led to a boycott of Thailand's coconut products by Western retailers. In the United Kingdom, Waitrose, Ocado, Co-op and Boots have vowed to stop selling some coconut products from Thailand, the BBC reported. As for companies implicated in the campaign, they simply have to provide evidence that they don't use forced monkey labour as suggested by Peta.
