Video introduction of Thai immigrant farmers

I believe everyone is familiar with monkeys, because our ancestors evolved from apes. As one of the lively and lovely animals, monkeys deserve to be loved by people. However, some monkeys seem to be in trouble. They were enslaved. Recently, Thai farmers trained monkeys to climb trees and pick coconuts, which triggered a heated discussion. It's all because they didn't work with small animals and forced them. This is an act of cruelty to small animals. What the hell was that?

People for the ethical treatment of animals recently accused Thai farmers of training monkeys to climb trees to pick coconuts and forcing each monkey to pick 1000 coconuts every day. PETA thinks this is animal cruelty and calls for a boycott of Thai coconut products.

The incident continued to ferment on the Internet, so the Thai government intervened in the investigation and issued an official response. The Thai government said that this kind of behavior is actually very common in Thailand, because monkeys picking coconuts is not labor, but also a way to attract tourists, rather than really abusing monkeys.

Thai Minister of Commerce Zhu Lin? Laksanavisidth responded that there is a phenomenon of training monkeys to be coconut pickers in Thailand? Almost nonexistent? The coconut industry has long replaced monkeys with manpower. But it didn't form Industrialization scale? This is just a show to attract tourists.

I think whether it is to replace manpower or attract tourists, this way of treating monkeys must be beneficial to them. Otherwise, why spend so much time and energy on an animal? Maybe some people don't know why they exaggerate the report, but there is indeed the behavior of training monkeys in Thailand. I don't think monkeys should be our labor force. They belong to nature, but we catch them and watch them. It's already a survival mode for us. Don't exploit monkeys.
