When I stop to think about this monkey labor for a second I’m not so sure I’m against it. As long as the monkeys aren’t being abused I’m having trouble finding a reason to be against the idea of monkey labor. If their assistance improves productivity how is that any different than other animals used for labor?

Technically no “labor.” This company goes into the jungle and throws coconuts at some monkeys, then the monkeys scatter into the trees and collect all the coconuts to retaliate. The humans pretend to lose under the onslaught and after the barrage dies down they collect their wounded from the battlefield along with all the many coconuts. Little do the monkeys know their role in awarding the real spoils of war as they tell their stories of victory around the campfire that night.
