Many of you love your popular moderator Tylar Tink and why wouldn’t you? She is friendly, cheerful, always a gas. Many of you trust her, but what you don’t realize is she has a dark side. She owns and operates several slave labour camps across Africa.
Tink and Co’s sweatshops go from across Africa, she has factories in Algeria, Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Sudan. Inside these sweatshops we have received unconfirmed reports of terrible lighting, abuse, and scarce payment. To top it off she specifically employs Orang-utans to work up to sixteen hours a day.
Unfortunately for these primates nobody has listened to their cries. Working up to one hundred hours a week to make barely enough to feed their families. Many sport scars from the whips of the managers there. “Oooh, ooh, ooh, ohh, ahh, ahh,” a primate called Ezebel says as she points to several whip marks across her back.
These animals are hunted with tranquilizer guns all across Africa to fill up thinned numbers in her factories. They are trained in sewing and other manual jobs, then shipped off to these sweat shops where they make designer straps for purses around the world. These straps are used in several recognizable brands including Gucci, Armani, Prada, and Mary Kate Ashley Olsen purses.
When asked about animal abuse in Tink and Co’s factories their head of public relations Idonna Givafuk said “That’s not important, what is important are these beautiful straps”. She later withdrew her comment and said “I have no comment on such things”.
When we further investigated we found that an average of 4000 Mary Kate Ashley Olsen purse straps were being manufactured a day in their Sudanese factory. With such production they would need approximately three hundred nimble fingered Orang-utans to produce them. This factory also reported an astonishingly low fifteen hundred dollar a month labour budget. That would be an average of five dollars a month for each primate. While Tink and Co sells each purse strap for fifty cents. Labour costs take up approximately 2.5% of the gross profit.
Is five dollars a month enough to get by in Sudan? Not even close our reports say that you need to make at least one hundred dollars a month there to cover your basic needs. That doesn’t even include housing, clothes, or water.
Fortunately the Sudanese government is now doing things to curb such labour injustices. They said they will instate a law requiring primates to work in safer conditions, work no more than 10 hours a day, and will put in minimum pay regulations and enforce them. At least denial doesn’t run through Sudan.
Unfortunately this will not stop her sixteen other factories from instituting such workplace atrocities, but it is at least a start. In conclusion I strongly recommend that you talk to Tink and Co’s cliental and demand they stop doing business, and that you set up protests outside her office, if our voices are loud enough we will be heard.
