You can still get kopi luwak that’s solely from wild civets–rather than captive–but the price is astronomical. I think that the last time I looked it up–more than a decade ago–it was something like $150+/pound.

Incredible how humans always find ways of abusing more animals.

The moment an animal is involved in the process of making money they are bred, caged and treated only as “good” as needed so they stay alive.

We’ve done the same with people… Fuck capitalism and all its sociopathic sycophants.

The bees seem kinda chill about it. They can just kinda fuck off after all.

Not sure where the debate is this moment but from my understanding, vegans won’t eat honey.

Beekeeping is a real problem, especially since it became a new hobby for some people. It’s advertised as helping to save the bees but in reality the honey bees are not in danger. They are the danger - to wild bees and other local insects.
