I saw a Thai man and monkey passing a M150 back and forth while taking a break from pulling coconuts from the trees.

You might have to explain that a bit more.

Some will think it's similar to an AK47.

Not even April fools doesent Boris airhead gf have more important things to think about?you know brexit or covid to name two

If you knew anything about Carrie Symonds, you would not describe her as an airhead.She is formidably intelligent and influential in her own right.

 

She would certainly know how to put a sentence together correctly.

The fate of the monkeys  if not having this fun job would not be funny Boris.

Yes, I have seen many times & they are fed well & scream with delight when allowed to 

scale a coconut tree. Does Carrie get to scream with delight or are you still dithering about that too

on samui the monkeys enjoy their work and are well treated from my observations ,theyre as happy as larry

Seconded. They always appear happy whenever I see them & they're much quicker than prodding the coconuts with a 5 meter snooker cue. They also enjoy the breeze while riding to/from work on the back of the pickup ferrying the harvest to the nearest processing plant.

Very cruel the poor monkeys are paid peanuts.

I think she should also stop the supermarkets selling meat and anything that is not vegan. 

 

Does she think the monkeys have a worse life than the farmed chickens, pigs and cows? 

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

How about if the UK supermarkets would do the same thing for Thai or SE Asian seafood products that originate with essentially human slave labor conditions? Before they start fretting about the monkeys?

Sounds like a frighteningly ideal method for animal to human virus transmission... Just you wait!!! 

 

Meanwhile, who knows what other kinds of bodily fluids beyond saliva might be getting exchanged....

Yet another "Snow Flake" who feels because she is married to someone important that it entitles her to advise the World on what is right and what is wrong.  Silly Person.

Well actually yes it is expected. The spouse of a leader is expected to promote a cause. If not then they are accused of doing nothing to repay what position they find themselves.

 

Such as the royal familly does.

So these morons would prefer humans climb these trees and get hurt and killed doing what monkeys can do far more easily? Leftists sure aren't very bright people. At all.

Oh come now, sir. The idea is to give the appearance of doing something. What you're talking about might actually do something. We can't have that.

[torturedsole]

I thought the word 'coconut' was on the banned and sanitised list.

[Sambotte]

Seriously... Reallyyyyy... SHOCKING ????

 

So now the Brits (witch i respect on other levels) have nothing more important to do than react to...

"a report in The Telegraph newspaper"... ????

And targeting Thailand here, for what reason ?...

SHAME ! 

Can do BET'TER ????

[puipuitom]

It's amazing, how lightfooted the Thai ( and other) coconut industry responds... could be Boris The Liar doing it himself.

After the video of that young elephand being tortured/trained, many have a bad immage about Thailand now.

I agree with Ms. Symonds! There is simply no excuse for exploiting animals for food or any other reason.
