Awful cruelty in Coconut Oil production

[Catherine]

I don't recognize the majority of those companies, but I see The Body Shop is on the list. That means all my coconut products are okay. The Body Shop has always made a point of not testing on animals. I like to support their commitment to cruelty free.

Food products I will have to look into. I don't eat a lot of coconut products, but when I do I don't want them to be picked by monkey slave labour.

If we all firmly reject companies that use coconuts picked by monkeys we can have an economic impact. That is the only message they will understand. It doesn't help the monkeys being abused now, but it might not be worth it to train new ones if people reject the products.
