The US$400 million (S$556 million) industry, which relies on monkeys at some plantations, is facing possible boycotts in the United States, Europe and Australia after the People of the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) alleged that monkeys are being abused and "treated like coconut picking machines" for Thai growers and producers.
Peta alleges that an undercover investigation at eight farms and several monkey training schools revealed "shocking abuse" where "monkeys are chained, confined to cramped cages and forced to climb trees and pick coconuts".
"We have to understand that climbing tall trees for humans is a very dangerous job that could end in injury or death,"
