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.
Bikini-clad animal rights activists stand in front of a Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) restaurant in Tokyo on Thursday to protest against the treatment of chickens.
Activists protested against KFC suppliers’ “abusive treatment of chickens in factory farms and slaughterhouses”.
For those of you that just can’t get enough of Christina Cho she even has her own website, where you can buy her latest CD. That is right folks are PETA fanatic is also a wannabe diva. Nothing like a little publicity to sell some CD’s. I wonder if Nomad is getting his reserved right now?
