Apart from the fragrant, mellow, sweet and slippery smell of Indonesia's "Kopi Luwak", it is even more unforgettable. It is known as gourmet coffee, which is delicious because of its scarcity. British media have revealed that Indonesian stores are suspected of abusing Kopi Luwak-producing civets, keeping them in tiny cages and feeding large quantities of coffee beans to force them to increase production.

After eating the coffee beans, the civets complete the fermentation in the stomach, destroying the protein of the coffee beans, producing short peptides and more free amino acids, reducing the bitterness of the coffee. Because the coffee beans cannot be digested, the civets excrete them, and after washing and baking, they become civet coffee. An eyewitness went straight to a cat shit coffee shop in Sumatra, Indonesia, and found a female civet kept in a narrow cage in the back column of the store, while other smaller civets were kept in more than 20 small cages hidden on the roof. forced to gorge on coffee beans. Traffic, a conservation group that monitors wildlife sales, says similar farms are rising year by year in Southeast Asia, leading to higher mortality rates for civets.
