BUFFALO, N.Y. — The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has criticized grocery store chain Wegmans and several other chains for allegedly selling coconut milk made from fruit harvested by abused monkeys.According to PETA, monkeys are "forced to climb trees to pick coconuts" for coconut milk made by the brand Chaokoh. The company says that Wegmans is one of the few grocery store chains still selling the product.In an open letter to Wegmans CEO Colleen Wegman, PETA claimed that an investigation by the organization found that coconut growers in the industry were harvesting fruit with monkeys that were "confined for life, sometimes with their teeth removed, always on chains, and often driven insane from being deprived of everything that's natural and important to them."PETA also added that it is delivering "humanely obtained: coconuts to Wegmans this week.In response, Wegmans said that PETA had sent letters to several other retailers regarding the coconut milk, and added that the store is "actively investigating the matter."In July, the Thailand-based maker of Chaokoh coconut milk, Theppadungporn Coconut Co. Ltd, told Reuters that it had audited more than 100 of its coconut plantations by a third party and that none were found to use monkeys in the harvesting process.Theppadungporn added that following PETA's reports of forced monkey labor, sales fell between 20% to 30% from last year.According to Reuters, PETA has rejected the Thai government's claims that the use of monkeys in harvesting coconuts was almost "non-existent."See the letter from PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk to Wegmans CEO Colleen Wegman below.Dear Ms. Wegman,Greetings from PETA. I hope this message finds you well. We've sent you these coconuts in the hope of cracking open some dialog about reconsidering your business relationship with Chaokoh, a brand sold by your company and implicated in a recent PETA Asia exposé of Thailand's coconut industry. This investigation revealed that Chaokoh is complicit in an industry that's forcing monkeys—confined for life, sometimes with their teeth removed, always on chains, and often driven insane from being deprived of everything that's natural and important to them—to collect coconuts.It seems that monkeys used in the coconut industry are illegally captured in their natural habitat as babies. Then, they endure abusive training. Investigators visited "monkey sc

Billowing smoke from wildfires on the West Coast is reaching cities thousands of miles away, and those who live closer to the fires are battling hazardous air for weeks now.“We’ve never seen anything like this. Waking up to orange light pouring in your room is such an eerie feeling,” said Danica Gragg. “We’ve never seen anything like it.”As wildfires scorch millions of acres, blue skies are transformed into rust, making earth appear more like Mars.We haven’t even been able to see the sun for a couple weeks,” said Gragg.Located east of San Francisco, unpredictable fires have dictated her family's lives for weeks now. First, it was the fear of evacuating.“There were three different fires at the time when this started: one above us, one below us, one to the right.”Ultimately spared from the flames, her family would still feel the wrath of what’s left in their wake.“My dad is a disabled veteran with COPD,” she said.Suffering from a chronic lung disease, it was the first time the Vietnam veteran found himself completely unable to breathe while taking out the trash one evening.“The ambulance came and of course with COVID, I think that was the first time I really understood what people were going through when you have to see a loved one taken away in an ambulance and you can’t go with them. You don’t know when you’ll see them again,” Gragg said.He was hospitalized for six days.Gragg said her family got humidifiers and also downloaded apps to check air quality. The apps reveal that West Coast cities are suffering from some of the worst air in the world, with San Francisco, Portland and Seattle ranking in the top five.“We can see the atmosphere in totally new ways now, and I have never personally seen so much smoke across the west as I did last week,” said Geoff Cornish, a meteorologist with AccuWeather.Satellite images show choking smoke blanketing the west and moving across the U.S. and Pacific Ocean.“Most of the smoke, as it gets carried east of northern plains, is elevated, and that will be high in the atmosphere,” said Cornish. “Now, somebody who might be really susceptible to respiratory illnesses might sense some of that.”What makes wildfire smoke so toxic is fine particulate matter so small it can get deep into the lungs and bloodstream. It's a public health threat that grows with each destructive wildfire season.“Climate change is not something that should be debatable anymore,” Gragg said. “We can see it. We need to listen to the scientists. They told us this was coming.”And now, her family waits to see how many more days will be dictated by historic fires raging around them. 2631

Being a healthcare worker, especially this year, has been no easy task. Yet, applications for medical school are at an all-time high.“So I decided to apply to 32. I haven't regretted it yet, there's still time to, we’ll see,” Laura Shepherd, a medical school applicant, said. Shepherd recently graduated from the University of Hawaii, and has now applied for 32 medical schools this round.“There's kind of a range. Some students will apply to one,” she said. “The application process takes almost an entire year."She’s one of many hoping to get into medical school in 2021. In fact, admissions departments are seeing the most applicants ever.“What we’re finding is at this stage, an 18 percent increase in the number of applicants,” Dr. Geoffrey Young, the senior director for student affairs and programs at the Association of American Medical Colleges, said. The association is also referred to as the AAMC.Dr. Young said usually, they see a one to three percent increase in applications each year.“You just feel, your chances, statistically that really decreases your chances ya know,” Shepherd said.“We don’t quite know what that might be because we don’t have a trend of data at this point,” Dr. Young said. But they do have some guesses as to why there’s such a big increase — one being the instability of the job market. “Medicine remains a stable profession,” he said.And the dedication of healthcare workers through the pandemic has also played a role.“How can you not be touched by a nurse or a physician or a tech sitting with someone and they are dying and trying to make a connection, a human connection between that patient and that patients loved ones,” Dr. Young explained.“I had never wanted to go to medical school more. I really really wanted to go. I was fidgeting in my seat whenever I watched news reports of how bad it was,” Shepherd said.The rise in interest is good for the healthcare industry, as a whole.The U.S. could see an estimated shortage of 54,000 to 139,000 physicians by 2033, according to the AAMC. And burnout could factor into that.“Physicians, all the providers, all the staff stepped up for that first wave and that second wave through the summer and now the third wave. It’s just draining for everyone,” Dr. Scott Strauss said. He is a Division Vice President for Graduate Medical Education for HCA Healthcare. “It’s really the residency programs that also need to increase.”Residency happens after finishing medical school. Dr. Strauss and his coworkers are working on expanding the number of residency positions available. Both these and medical school spots would need to increase to help meet the demand of physicians.“Medical school residency training in healthcare in the future will absolutely be different and have been impacted by COVID,” Dr. Strauss said.As admissions departments sort through the record amount of applicants this year, pre-med graduates like Shepherd are hoping to be part of the change in the future.“Some people who aren't shooting to be a doctor might think that’s terrifying that must really make you second guess your choice,” she said. “But I think a lot of pre-med students would agree with me when they say that makes me want to do it more.” 3227
