Fwiw, I have never been to Thailand, I do not know if they eat monkeys.
Thailand has been raising and training pigtailed macaques to pick coconuts for around 400 years. Coconut farmers in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India and other countries in the region sometimes rely on monkeys, too.
Turns out a male monkey can collect an average of 1,600 coconuts per day and a female can get 600, while a humans can only collect around 80 per day. It’s also safer for a scampering, height-savvy monkey to pluck and drop the fruit from the trees — up to 80 feet tall — than a human, according to the National Primate Research Center at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
We need to stop applying our standards into foreign countries. All it does it piss people off and stat wars for us we have no need to be in. I suppose this is PETA’s way of attacking capitalism. Maybe they should have started long ago when the aphids and other bugs got into the US gardens. PETA should have complained about the introduction of Lady Bug Beatles when they started selling them in the open market. Wasn’t it cruel to do that also?

And neither will the customers know it’s fresh farm raised monkey. 😆
The Monkeys should have hired Marty Walsh to represent them
Another way to deplete another food staple.

Unionize the monkeys!!
You wouldn’t be lying!
Which is why PETA prefers to euthanize pets
They should unionize.
The Congo produces 60% of the world's cobalt. This must be where they are using child labor. But through out the world's poor nations, child labor is used. In fields, to grow food, and so on. A young hungry mouth has to earn his/her keep.
I didn’t know monkeys had such crummy lives, being sex slaves for gays and now coconut picking slaves.
Spanking monkeys in public is generally frowned upon.
The atheists like to say that with an infinite amount of time a monkey on a keyboard will eventually type Shakespeare. LOL

How about they just ‘shock the monkey’.... is that ok?
Those are not monkeys; they are apes of the Chimpanzee variety.
Dogs, mules, donkeys, horses, bulls are all like, “WTF?”
Do the Monkeys have a say? Maybe they could organize a union.
I have 14 raccoons and 6 skunks that guard the house at night. In exchange they receive cat food, water and blueberry breakfast bars.They never complain. They even work a 12 hour shift non stop even when it is raining. If I give the racoons dollar bills they just bring the $$ back and leave the money at the door.
That would explain a lot, actually
