Kopi Luwak is a kind of coffee fermented through civets, which is expensive because of its special taste and low yield.

In recent years, civet coffee has been reported by the media as an inhumane coffee for animal abuse.

In fact, civets can only be raised legally after going through various checkpoints and abiding by the regulations.

I hope to let the public know more about the fact that most civets are taken good care of.

The legal raising and production of civet coffee is subject to the approval of the four units in the above picture:

1. World Animal Protection Society WWF

2. WWFI, Indonesia Branch of World Society for the Protection of Animals

3. Ministry of Forestry of Indonesian Government

4. Indonesian Musk Cat Conservation Association

The health status of each civet must be assessed by a doctor appointed by the association before raising each civet, and cats that are not up to standard must be released and allowed to be raised must be released two years later. Towards the end of the biennium, the Association will inform the owner of the release date and send a specialist to witness the release process. After approval for breeding, each cat will be implanted with a chip to ensure that it will not be caught back after being released. Each doctor can only take care of 20 cats. If the number exceeds, you will have to hire another one. A fixed physical examination is carried out every two months to observe whether the excretory system, teeth and fur are abnormal. If you are not sick during the physical examination, you will immediately ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

You must follow the diet specified by the association. Coffee season: coffee beans are fed on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, fruits and vegetables on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, and protein foods such as chicken or chicken liver on Saturdays. The food is fed daily at seven in the morning and four in the afternoon.

Musk cats have a regional nature to attack other animals that invade their own life, and it is impossible to feed more nutritious food if they are raised in a more open forest. So it must be kept separately in the range of 150x200x300, providing roots for it to climb and cleaning the life area every day.

It is true that there are some unscrupulous operators in the industry who raise civets in an inhumane way, but if they comply with the regulations of the association, the cats raised are actually healthier than wild cats. In addition to not having to worry about eating and living, there are also full-time doctors to take care of them.

The association also irregularly dispatches commissioners to temporarily check whether the owner complies with the regulations, otherwise the breeding license will be revoked.
