Civet poop coffee?

I agree with PETA civet poop coffee is unethical and overpriced.

Kopi luwak is made from the beans of coffee berries have been eaten and excreted—yes, you read right!— the Asian palm civet. To make this coffee, the civets are typically snatched from their homes and life in the wild to be imprisoned alone in tiny, barren cages. They’re deprived of everything is natural and important to them, including freedom, exercise, space—even real food. They bite at the cage bars, turn in circles, and go insane from being imprisoned with no escape. Deprived of adequate nutrition, they begin to lose their fur. All of this cruelty is just for a novelty coffee sold companies such as Amazon.com. We’re asking the company, as a leader in global online retail sales, to learn the ugly truth behind this coffee from this recent investigation and end the sale of kopi luwak.

A PETA Asia investigator visited civet coffee farms in Indonesia and the , two of the world’s top producers of kopi luwak. Undercover footage from these farms—some of which falsely advertise their coffee as “wild-sourced”—shows sick, depressed civets suffering from infections and exhibiting signs of zoochosis, a stress–induced neurotic condition causes captive to spin, pace, and bob their heads in constant frantic displays of frustration.
