Slave monkeys are used because they're cheaper than the cheapest human labour in those countries. If you think any of the amenities you describe are available to these monkeys, enjoy your delusion. These are slave labour camps, and the monkeys are typically chained to the trees and physically abused if they don't gather coconuts. Dogs, horses, and cats enjoy a fair amount of protection from human cruelty in North America. Unspeakable things are done to the other non-human animals you mentioned
I'm not saying that they are being treated well, just saying that there wouldn't be much of a problem if they were treated well.
Fair enough
