The shocking conditions were discovered by animal investigators on farms in Indonesia and the Philippines which produce the much sought-after kopi kuwak, sold in Harrods and which can cost up to £60 a cup in some restaurants. Locals pick the 'coffee beans' from the faeces the cats which eat the ripe coffee berries as part of their diet. Once they are cleaned they are roasted. The coffee they produce is described as filled with a deep, mellow flavour, not acidic, with a 'unique, soft, sweet taste'.However, undercover video footage shows civets exhibiting neurotic behaviour such as incessant pacing, spinning and head-bobbing -- indications that the wild-caught animals are going insane from boredom and depression. In this video One farmer explained civets are generally kept caged for around three years. Another farmer compared civets eating too many coffee berries to humans smoking, as the civets' health deteriorates greatly during captivity because of a lack of vitamins and nutrition. Despite the battery farm conditions, many farms sell the product as 'wild', sourced in the jungle from the droppings of free-roaming animals. ✦Tony Wild, former coffee trader and author of 'Coffee: A Dark History', told the BBC: 'The whole reason everybody regurgitates that story is that by being incredibly rare, you can keep a ridiculously high price.' The coffee has surged in popularity, especially in the U.S. and Japan after featuring on the Oprah Winfrey Show and the film, The Bucket List. In a separate investigation by the BBC, it was found one of the most popular products called Wahana Luwak, which is supplied to Harrods, was being produced by a company, Sari Makmur, which uses caged civets. ✦PLEASE WATCH ALSO THIS VIP REPORTAGE FROM THE BBC (Published 15 September-2013) "Our World Coffee's Cruel Secret Kopi Luwak - civet cats - Indonesia" ►http://youtu.be/cvIl4mpPMkk ✦PLEASE WATCH ALSO THIS NEW RECENT INVESTIGATION VIDEO FROM THE BBC (Published on September 16-2013)"Civet cat coffee's animal cruelty secrets" The BBC secretly filmed civet cats being held in battery-style conditions ►http://youtu.be/0HFd08Sbwek ✦READ MORE: A RECENT REPORT FROM THE BBC:Civet cat coffee's animal cruelty secrets"14 September 2013 Last updated" ►http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24076618 ✦And Here the full report from September 13th 2013: ►http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24076618 ✦AND HERE:►http://www.wspa-international.org/wspaswork/civets/default.aspx Thank You ~ Tony Zadel, Copyright(©)—
