LadyFreeThinker Says ReThink Trendy Coffee Called Kopi Luwak,

Coffee lovers who indulge in the world's priciest brew may have no idea they're sipping on a cup of animal cruelty. An investigator from Los-Angeles based animal rights organization Lady Freethinker visited multiple locations in Bali, Indonesia selling kopi luwak – coffee made by feeding civet cats, also called luwaks, coffee cherries and collecting their excrement – and documented the filthy, miserable conditions of the captive animals. LFT's investigator found: Dozens of tourist attractions in Bali forcing these wild, solitary and nocturnal animals together in cages for noisy tourists to gawk at all day long. These tourist traps cage civets purely for display, then sell luwak coffee sourced from deplorable, factory-style farms where conditions are even worse. One local Luwak coffee farm held civets in tiny, filthy, barren wire cages, stacked on top of one another with no visible food or water. The rows of cages also held roosters and dogs – likely to slaughter.
