those guys are the Connie Ray Alford's of Thailand.

quote:

MONROE, La., Nov. 22 (1979) (AP) — Connie Ray Alford owns a prosperous 300-acre cattle and chicken farm at Truxno, a onestore village in the red clay hills just south of the Arkansas state line. He calls it Welcome Home Ranch.

Mr. Alford was to go on trial Monday in Federal District Court, accused of enslaving two illegal aliens from Mexico and keeping them shackled and chained while they worked off a debt at Welcome Home Ranch. He pleaded guilty yesterday to one count of peonage in a plea-bargaining agreement that calls for the other charges to be dropped. He faces up to five years in prison.

A spokesman for the Federal Office of Civil Rights said the case was the first ever in which Mexicans rather than blacks were the victims in a violation of Federal antislavery and peonage laws, which date to Reconstruction. The case has become notorious in Mexico, where minority political factions cite it as proof that illegal aliens are enslaved in the United States.


Louisiana Man Admits Holding Illegal Mexican Aliens in Peonage (on NY Times)

Yes, that's the same Truxno.

Do they automatically go on COBRA or are there no health insurance benefits for them?

Also, are we going to have to start paying minimum wage to farm animals now?

I need to see video. Are we talking a sad circus bear situation, or a herding dog/sled dog loving life type “job”?

Cuz if my dogs could climb trees, they’d do this job for fun all day long.

The mega-retailer pulled the beverage due to repeated allegations of monkey slave labor in its production. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) accused the Thai coconut milk supplier of using monkey slave laborers for harvest, which it claims are kept chained and improperly cared for.
Is there video of this?
