Duszek Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 According to the BBC, UK supermarkets are under pressure from animal rights groups to ban monkey-picked coconuts. 'Male monkeys are able to pick up to 1,000 coconuts a day, PETA says, whereas a human can pick about 80.' i.e. they'd rather see ten humans doing the job of one monkey. Sickening. 'PETA said it also discovered "monkey schools", where the animals were trained to play basketball.' And they want 'less' rather than 'more' of this. It beggars belief. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-53276071 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever a box of chocolates was being handed round, I always, always, always got the coconut one. Evil stuff. Although the shells are useful for imitating horses hooves and makeshift bras while on a desert island. 1 minute ago, Bigmouth Strikes Again said: Employ them as moderators on here, probably do a better job. IMO. I don't remember the exact details but I read something about giving monkeys enough time, they could produce the complete works of Shakespeare. That's far more productive than picking coconuts imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we still talking about monkeys or have we moved onto Hollywood now? If the latter, I agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 What's the problem, what other jobs are monkeys qualified for? I'm quite happy to eat products they pick out a tree, I don't want them driving or operating machinery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
