I don't know the history of the photo, but I know some Kopi Luwak 'producers' force feed the civets coffee cherries to maximise production. So I can't say this is a natural shit for a civet, because it could be human induced.

    Imagine being forced to shit a log, so that some fancy pants can have exotic coffee

    Considering how the civets treat coffee cherries, this would be like if some aliens were forcefeeding you glazed donuts for the same purpose. Abuse in many cases, but it started with a natural attraction being exploited. Ethical sources still uses attracted wild civets or cage free farms
