[One of the more interesting pieces I've seen lately](https://mises.org/library/activists-seek-impoverish-thai-villagers-save-monkeys-slavery?ref=thedailyeudemon.com), though the prose is pretty rough. I didn't even know the protest idiots had been targeting monkey labor practices. This article discusses it, as well as the severe shortcomings of the protests from a practical standpoint. Excerpt:

> As some ramp up calls for a boycott, Sponsel cautions the bandwagon. “They should seriously consider how their campaign may negatively impact the livelihood of poor farmers. Some activists appear to be more worried about non-human animals more so than humans; even though the latter are also animals and have rights too.”

> In a perfect world, Thai farmers would have machines and monkeys would have unspoiled wilderness. But, for the world we have – one in which habitat destruction wipes out entire populations – coconuts and farmers in need may be all that keeps the macaques in the trees and off the dinner tables.
