PETA accused of cultural racism and double-standards

 

 

US-based animal rights protection group PETA has been accused of double standards and cultural racism after it claimed that the use of monkeys in harvesting coconuts in Thailand is cruel, and its call to ban Thai coconut products.

 

In his Facebook post today, Mr. Atthawich Suwanpakdee, secretary-general of the Kla Party, asked about the difference between the use of monkeys to pick coconuts in Thailand and the use of pigs in the search for truffles in Europe.

 

He said that the use of monkeys and pigs are two different cultures and both are respectable, adding that, in Thailand, monkeys and men work together to pick coconuts, with the animals being properly trained at special schools.

It’s not necessarily the act of monkeys picking coconuts, it’s the conditions they’re kept in and the training methods they endure to be animal slaves in that industry.

He is absolutely right.

Pigs enjoy looking for truffles, and they're not abused into doing it. The opposite is true for monkeys collecting coconuts. Wake up, Attawich.

Monkey Special school, says a lot.

[rupert the bear 402]

its the slaves on the trawlers and the in the factories which is a big concern and that needs sanctions.monkeys enjoy climbing trees but the training methods are what must be looked into,we see young elephants battered with iron hooks in the elephant shows and performances ,some are treated well others poorly hence a need for legislation and enforcement

Schroevers runs the Monkey Training School in Surat Thani, Thailand, a Buddhist-inspired school founded 50 years ago to teach monkeys how to pick coconuts without the use of force or violence. He says Animal Place has it all wrong when it comes to how most monkeys that work on coconut farms are treated.

Here we come
Walkin' down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Everyone we meet

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

You are spot on. I have seen in the South how the monkeys are trained from a small age onward's and it doesn't looks very good and sure is cruel but they are now mainly used for tourist attractions.

this is the best monkey school around, somjai is brilliant and the monkees are very well taken care of, she trains then the same way her father did, no force and rewards, anyone that goes there can see just how well they are treated, I spent a lot of time there over a couple of years so saw first hand just how well they were treated and taken care of. Peta is full of sh#t and anyone that believes anything they say are idiots, they are just as bad as blm and antifa, they will stoop to any lengths to push their garbage as can be seen from what they have done in the past. At one time they were stealing peoples pets and killing them till they were caught out, they are scum

Your english has become better than native english speakers, all of a sudden.

PETA is holding Waitrose croissants hostage in the UK.

 

Due to this monkey business Waitrose croissants have disappeared from Tops.

 

Are people aware that PETA has backed litigation trying to give a monkey the right to a selfie?

 

That they tried to litigate that whales were being kept as "slaves".

 

These dangerous lunatics like PETA, ANTIFA and all the other organized disturbed have-nots have to be fought at all cost. I will be buying Thai coconut milk in protest.
