In the man's hand, the feces excreted by the musk cat were excreted. Don't look down on these feces, it is a delicacy on the tip of some people's tongues.
In fact, these feces are excreted by musk cats after eating coffee beans, and some people hype them up, and there is also the famous cat coffee.
Originally produced in Indonesia, the Dutch established coffee plantations around the Indonesian colonies of Sumatra and The Island of Java in the early 18th century. They set coffee trees as rare species, and for fear that indigenous people would learn to grow coffee trees, they forbade locals to pick and eat their own coffee fruits.
However, Indonesian locals inadvertently discover that musk cats love to eat these coffee fruits and will discharge the beans intact when they are pooping. Coffee berries are digested in the intestines of musk cats, and the action of gastric juice and enzymes is thought to raise levels of citric acid, giving coffee beans some citrus flavor and chocolate and earthy taste.
The discovery, which ecstaticed the locals, was soon discovered by Dutch colonists, who hyped it up, and cat coffee made Europeans flock to it.
However, the excrement excreted by wild musk cats alone was far from enough for the needs of those in Europe, so they began to feed artificially, which brought many drawbacks.
First of all, wild musk cats are very picky about food, and specialize in picking up those good quality coffee beans to eat. The coffee beans that are artificially fed to musk cats, just to chase commercial interests, have not been screened, and are not excellent quality beans.
That said, its commercial value comes more from hype than from its controversial flavor.
It is said that 85% of the cat coffee on the market is fake, and many coffee companies will label ordinary coffee as cat to throw up the price. Even if it comes from real cat, it is basically the product of industrial production, and the original ecology is almost impossible.
Secondly, the consequences of commercial production are a certain threat to the survival of musk cats.
The musk cat is a nocturnal animal that inhabits jungle areas. It originally ate a small amount of food, and it was a small animal that loved to be clean and self-disciplined. Because the coffee beans produced by wild musk cats are very rare, only artificial breeding can get more cat coffee, and unscrupulous traders keep the animals in small, dirty cages and force them to eat non-stop.
The enclosed living space makes them unable to adapt, and their brains collapse, tearing each other apart from their companions and even biting their own legs.
Excessive consumption of unclean coffee beans caused them to suffer gastrointestinal damage, first pulling blood, and then dying one by one.
Cat coffee is worth a lot, thousands of dollars per kilogram. Sitting in the café and ordering a cup of cat coffee seems to have become a symbol of the status of the upper class.
The feces excreted by musk cats are not enough for people to eat, what to do? Someone thought of the largest animal on land, the elephant, and there was elephant coffee!
In contrast, elephant coffee is much more expensive than cat coffee. In order to get the elephants to expel more coffee beans, they resorted to more cruel methods than they did with musk cats, and many elephants were tortured to death.
In the eyes of some people, all animals on the earth are for human survival, and their lives are worthless.
