Costco has dropped Chakoah coconut milk because they use forced monkey labor, Peta says.
Costco follows Walgreens, Food Lion, Giant Food, and Stop & Shop, who also stopped stocking coconut milk brands, including Chaokoh, after PETA alleged that monkeys in Thailand were picking coconuts.
“No kind shopper wants monkeys to be chained up and treated like coconut-picking machines,” PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said in a statement. “Costco made the right call to reject animal exploitation, and PETA is calling on holdouts like Kroger to follow suit.”
They were very concerned about the use of monkeys against their will.
Meanwhile, the following companies use human slave labor in China, and no one cares: Abercrombie & Fitch, Adidas, Gap, Calvin Klein, H&M, L.L.Bean, Lacoste, Nike, The North Face, Polo Ralph Lauren, Puma, Skechers, Tommy Hilfiger, Zara, and Victorias Secret, as well as General Motors, Goertek, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagon, and more.

iT’S VERY TELLING WHERE THEIR CONCERNS LIE.
Monkey Lives Matter too
Did they have to spank their monkeys to make them comply?
Hey, they’re just worried about the “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”.
Monkeys of the world unite.
This is a joke, right?
Interesting how Costco has NO problem with the many items it do doubt sales that used forced Chinese labor!
“no doubt” not “do doubt”!
What does this do for my desire to obtain a monkey butler?
Where can I get some of that? Oh, and throw in a monkey butler while you’re at it because I don’t live in a mansion like the pukewood elites so can’t afford a real one.
No and the sad thing is they enjoy the work, are treated well with love, live longer and are healthier than in the wild and provide a better income for their third world owners than working for slave wages in a dangerious sweat shop. That’s PITA for you.
