Retailers pull coconut products picked by monkeys

[Saltwater60]

I thought this was an ingenious idea as long as the monkeys are treated fairly. Working animals have been used for year.

WTH else would they be doing, flinging poop?

Stupid monkies.

I'm surprised they didnt try to unionize them.

Animals such as horses, Oxen, donkeys, and dogs love work.
When I walk into my barn with a harness, all the horses go ape shit.....they all want to go to work.
They know that work can be hauling 2 tons of logs in 90 degree heat but they love it.
Do you know why dog sleds need brakes and hooks on ropes??
Because sled dogs LOVE working long hard days.
Ever seen when a Falconer takes a bird from its cage????
The birds are beside themselves with excitement at the thought of working.
Have you ever packed a donkey? (I know you dirty bastards)
They love to go to work.
Do you know @Darth ?
He loves to be wrapped up, rode hard and put away angry.

Animals love to have a job.

To rush to judgement on this would be primateture.

Yeah but I bet a roomful of monkies with typewriters could probably... eh, never mind, too convoluted.

I think I'd pay extra for a coconut if a monkey picked it.

That monkey better wash his or her hands though.

In Belize I met a monkey named Gumbo who had just gotten into a tin of tobacco a day or so earlier. Poor dude very much made me think of Mojo.
