hello fresh have been using monkey slave labour

Doubleme

I am boycotting this company for life now, which they will really regret because I have used them so much before (0 times but will never try now)

this sounds ridiculous and surprised @HAYSIE didn't beat me to this one.

Do you boycott eggs because the egg industry throws 4,000,000 day old male chicks into wood chippers every year, I don't.

Or do you boycott the meat industry because bolt guns and gas are used to slaughter animals, I don't.

So I'm not going to not eat Hello Fresh given the chance just because some monkeys are picking coconuts.

Do you wear anything made of leather, bone or fur.
Do you have tatoos.
Do you use a razor with a lubrication strip.
Do you use cosmetics.

The list is endless buddy and to be honest if that's all you have to be angry about you need to get out more.

Let's sort cruelty to humans out first.

I knew about it, but didnt think it was worth posting.
Dont you think its about time the monkeys of this world started pulling their weight?

I have more sympathy with your position than @TheEdge949

But I'm unconvinced that someone who has never bought their products is going to protest by continuing to never buy their products is going to force their hand

Anyway what are they doing picking coconuts when their main job is in the Houses of Parliament.

What will their constituents think?

MAXALLY

It all started when they took over the tea making on national TV.

I only drink coffee.

...you don't see those adverts anymore....the OP may have a valid point.

Just part of my point @Essexphil , I would have some sympathy had he been a regular user of the product but this is like me saying I'm never giving Spurs another penny until Levy is gone.

well with respect that is absurd I suppose I could go well how can you have a problem with human slavery or child sex slaves if you tolerate monkey slavery. Of course I am not saying that, that would be ridiculous.

my point is you have to draw the line somewhere, I dont know about fur but I do have a few leather items yes. I like to think we use every part we can of an animal when we kill it I would not feel right if we killed the cow for its leather and then did not eat the meat or anything else etc.

I have no tatoos and I do not shave occasionally I go to Kemba's barber for a tidy up. That guy does a fantastic job at a very competitive price and works very hard and long hours to support his family so he deserves a shout out. Not that he needs mine you have to book with him otherwise you likely wont get an appointment. I dont know where he gets his razors from or the ethical or lack of.

as far as I am aware we kill animals over here is the most humane way possible unless its Halal but I probably should not go there.

the generic point I am making is yes there are things which are ugly with the world and bad things happen in a number of places but that does not mean no red line exists. or that we should not call this stuff out.
