Monkey Business

When it comes to protests, you can't really go wrong with monkeys. That philosophy was recently applied by my good friends at Greenpeace UK who staged a protest outside Nestle's HQ in Croydon, south London.

Highlighting the plight of Orang-Utans due to rainforest destruction in Indonesia, Nestle is accused of complicity by purchasing palm oil from the region. So to drive the point home, activists dressed as monkeys paid the company a visit and got down to some rather funny monkey business. Even the police liked it and the day went past with a lot of amusement and smiles all around - except for those working inside the Nestle building. A quick excerpt you can view below:
