PETA is preparing to demonstrate outside Whole Foods due to its persistent sale of coconut milk from Thailand. Recently, it was discovered that coconut milk production in Thailand involves the forced labor of monkeys. Because of these cruel actions, retailers such as Aldi have decided to stop sourcing their supply of coconut milk from the country after PETA published investigations into animal abuse.
On the other hand, the PETA organization revealed its intention to hold a protest at a local Whole Foods store with the help of “activists” dressed as monkeys and wearing prisoner costumes. They will use counterfeit cans of Thai coconut milk with labels denouncing animal cruelty to draw attention to the issue and pressure the retail giant to take action. This strategy has been successful in other countries, leading several stores to restock their products with more ethical options.
This is why the Whole Foods supermarket chain is being criticized for continuing to sell Thai coconut milk, which encourages mistreatment and abuse of an endangered species. PETA has spoken out against this, calling on Whole Foods to stop supporting an industry that uses chained monkeys to harvest coconuts. The company is also urged to opt for ethical suppliers from countries such as India and the Philippines instead of supporting animal abuse in Thailand.
Also some companies that produce coconut milk and sell their products at Whole Foods were mentioned in an investigation conducted by PETA Asia. These companies have been found to use coconuts harvested by monkeys, which has raised concerns among workers in the industry. As a result of this exposure, companies such as HelloFresh, Purple Carrot and Performance Food Group have decided to stop sourcing coconut milk from Thailand. International companies such as Aldi, ASDA and Lidl have also taken similar measures.
