Coca-Cola seems like an ethical company that repays society. However, when I was searching the word \u201cCoca-Cola\u2019s ethnics\u201d, the first suggestion popped out was \u201canimal test\u201d. At that moment I felt different about Monique\u2019s post. I dug deeper as I assumed Coca-Cola was not as ethical as today\u2019s image. In 2007 there were rumors saying Coca-Cola uses animal to test or develop its products. Apparently Coca-Cola used to use \u201canimals like rats and chimpanzees to test taste perception and in some cases, to bolster support for promotional health claims\u201d. Also according to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), Coca-Cola \u201chad a history of invasive animal experimentation\u201d. It would cut open chimpanzees\u2019 face to conduct tests.<br \/>\nAs time passed, under the pressure from animal rights activists, it decided to \u201cstop directly financing research that uses animals to test or develop their products.\u201d Hence, Coca-Cola has been trying to redeem its image and give back to the environment such as working with WWF in conserving fresh water.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"960\" height=\"720\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/kxSALRRhGgQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/kxSALRRhGgQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.webmastergrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Monkey-Drinking-Coke.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"388\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Resource<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/moniqueharjani\/2013\/11\/01\/coca-colas-creations-of-shared-value\/\">https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/moniqueharjani\/2013\/11\/01\/coca-colas-creations-of-shared-value\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I was browsing Monqiue\u2019s blog I saw her Coca-Cola post, thus I decided to research about Coca-Cola.
