Trying to unwrap this headline, and still struggling.

Have you considered reading the article, you know, for more information and context?

Oh I read the article and know what the article says, but the headline is still a mess. I’m imagining monkeys in cubicles at hello fresh corporate frantically dialing coconut milk vendors

Aside from a barely comprehensible lack of empathy and ethics... what is the legal situation here? Animal abuse sure... but having them work under good conditions? Would that be legal?

Don't get me wrong, monkeys should be monkeys and do monkey things. I'm just curious.

Dogs, water buffalo, horses are all working animals too. I think it boils down to how they are treated.
