PETA, a member of PETA Asia, has revealed that civet coffee (also known as Kopi Luwak) is in production to reveal the miserable life of civets. PETA called on retailers to stop selling civet coffee and stop abusing animals.

Musk cat, in fact, should be called coconut cat, this looks silly and somewhat aggrieved little thing, although it looks a bit like a raccoon, but it really belongs to the cat family, it is distributed in southeastern China, Southeast Asia, India, Sri Lanka and other places.

Well, Kopi Luwak, as its name implies, is a kind of coffee processed after the civet eats the coffee fruit and pulls out the indigestible coffee beans. It is said that it tastes mellow and sweet and has a long aftertaste, but as a senior loser, I have never drunk it anyway. it is said that it is quite expensive, hundreds of yuan or two, although it is pulled by a lovely cat, but the thought of it is poop.

Because civets are wild animals, it always takes a lot of energy to find their feces, that is, cat poop coffee beans, which is one of the reasons why this kind of coffee is more expensive. However, high profits always drive people to do something immoral or violate the laws of animal survival, so in order to make money, a large number of civets are caught and kept in captivity.

Imprisoned only in order to satisfy human desire, the result of being reduced to a biological coffee maker is very tragic, locked in a narrow cage that can only be turned around, and the only food every day is coffee cherries.

In fact, civets do not eat coffee cherries as their staple food. they also eat insects, birds, lizards and so on to get protein, but now they only eat coffee cherries and eat desperately and keep pulling. Long-term imbalance in nutrition makes cats physically weak, depilate and become ugly, and when they can no longer produce, they will be disposed of. A large number of civets were imprisoned, and they had no food except coffee fruits that could produce Kopi Luwak. In the end, their life expectancy was shortened from more than 20 years to only about three or four years due to malnutrition and captivity.

A cup of coffee-perhaps a curiosity or curiosity-may be an irrelevant sense of taste satisfaction, the life of the cat buried in the dark liquid of the coffee.

In fact, the coffee produced in this way is not as good as you have heard. Civet coffee tastes good because civets love to eat the nectar of Hejiao, which turns into a natural sweet wine after fermentation. the residue of this nectar reacts with undigested coffee beans in the civet's belly, neutralizing the bitterness of the coffee, so it produces sweet civet coffee. So how can captive civets produce high-quality civets when they only have coffee and cherries to eat? Only healthy civets can produce the best civet coffee.
