Morrissey Lands in Washington and Lands on Jeff Bezos Over Whole Foods’ Coconut Milk Sales
As Morrissey arrives in the nation’s Capitol on his sold-out U.S. tour, The Smiths frontman dispatched word to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Whole Foods CEO Jason Buechel today urging them to please please please stop selling coconut milk from Thailand where monkeys are kept in servitude and trained with violence and privation to pick coconuts as revealed in multiple PETA Asia investigations.

"October 16, 2023
Dear Messrs. Bezos and Buechel:
I was aghast to hear that Whole Foods has so far refused to do the humane thing and switch away, as it easily could, from selling coconut milk from Thailand where monkeys are forced into servitude. These are our fellow primates with feelings greater than those Whole Foods management has shown. You have these monkeys’ misery on your hands and I urge you to do something ethical now, to act as if Whole Foods “standard of excellence” is not a cruel joke.
PETA has sent Whole Foods top executives three separate investigations into the Thai coconut industry that have documented appalling cruelty to monkeys: most chained by their necks, kept in solitude, exposed to all weather without shelter, some having their teeth pulled out, all trained with appalling violence, and all forced to spend their lives climbing tall trees to twist off heavy coconuts. Some monkeys have fallen from great heights.
Please decide to sell only coconut milk sourced from outside Thailand. Please may I hear from you?
Sincerely,
Morrissey"

Chained ‘Monkeys’ Descend On Whole Foods HQ | PETA
Why did chained “monkeys” raise hell outside Whole Foods’ HQ? To speak up for our fellow primates! Here’s how we’re blasting the chain for propping up a cruel industry.
