“The traditional method of collecting feces from wild civets has given way to intensive farming methods in which civets in battery cage systems are force-fed the cherries. This method of production has raised ethical concerns about the treatment of civets due to “horrific conditions” including isolation, poor diet, small cages and a high mortality rate.”

Thanks for the information. I guess if the one company makes a big deal out of its use of the animals being natural and healthy, it might be assumed that there are companies whose use is the opposite. If I were inclined to drink the stuff, that right there would stop me.
