Re: Thai Coconut milk
I didn't click on the link either
I don't drink milk of any kind and I've never bought coconut milk although I'm sure many products I buy contain it....its getting to seem that just about everything has some ethical reason why I shouldn't buy it and I'm sure future generations will look back at us with dismay but we have to eat.

No more coconut things for me.

Re: Thai Coconut milk
The trouble is that the people who care and try to do something about this sort of thing are, sadly, in the minority. Globally, I mean. It will be years - centuries - before humanity learns to respect other species that we share the planet with. I fear the planet's resources will have been long depleted before we reach that stage.14-06-2021, 01:20 PM

I agree.
For those of us who care, there are many more who don't.
Anyway, in this day and age, why can't they use machinery for picking flippin' coconuts?
And even if they do expect the monkeys to work for free, there is no excuse whatsoever for keeping them in such appalling conditions at the end of each day.
