Secondly, human labor and social economy also need to be considered. Although monkeys can improve work efficiency, training and managing a large-scale monkey labor force also requires huge investment. At the same time, modern society has established a complex labor system, and the skills and professional knowledge of human workers play an important role in many industries. Switching to monkeys as workers may lead to a lot of unemployment and social instability.
Finally, sustainability is also an important consideration. Although monkeys can improve the efficiency of coconut picking in the short term, this model is unsustainable in the long run. As animals, monkeys have different physiological and psychological needs from humans. Long-term labor may have a negative impact on their health and welfare. In addition, the large-scale use of monkeys may also have a negative impact on the survival of monkeys and the balance of the ecosystem.
To sum up, although monkeys may be more efficient than humans in some specific tasks, human beings do not train monkeys to become assembly line workers on a large scale mainly for ethical, moral and practical reasons. We should pay more attention to the protection of animal rights, respect the value of human labor and promote the goal of sustainable development. At the same time, we should seek other technologies and innovative methods to improve production efficiency and protect the environment.
