PETA Protests Outside of Thai Embassy in South Korea

PETA is was recently protesting the Thai embassy in the Yongsan district of Seoul because apparently farmers in Thailand use monkeys to help pick coconuts and keep them in very poor conditions:

A performer, dressed in a monkey costume with a chain around his neck, pushes a cart piled high with coconuts in front of the Royal Thai Embassy in Yongsan District, Seoul, Friday afternoon. After taking several steps forward, he suddenly empties the cart, leaving dozens of coconuts precariously tumbling down the road, before picking up a sign.

You can read more at the link, but it is interesting that PETA is having this protest at the same time that abuses of migrant workers in South Korea is making headlines.

So PETA thinks dog restaurants are okay? I realize they are few and far between nowadays but I understand they still exist.

Why isn’t PETA protesting in Thailand? And why are they wasting coconuts?

This isn’t from the PETA protest.

If you read the sign, it says:

“Cast off the chains of slavery. Reparations Now. Black Lives Matter.”
