A PETA Asia investigation revealed how civet cats were commonly confined to barren, filthy cages encrusted with faeces, dirt, and decomposing berries.
Many had painful open wounds for which they did not appear to receive any medical care.
Although kopi luwak is often advertised as “wild-sourced”, one farmer told an eyewitness that it would be nearly impossible to source it exclusively from the wild. Producers also suggested deliberately mislabelling coffee from captive civet cats.
Don’t be duped – never buy civet cat coffee. Tell Bacha Coffee to cut ties with the cruel “cat-poop coffee” industry.
