According to Keith Siddorn, a farmer in Meadowbrook Farm in Broxton many children who visit his farm on tours are also ignorant about which animal pork comes from. Siddorn told the Chester Chronicle that though many of the children are aware that the source of milk is cow but when asked about beef they get confused because they do not realize the same animal can serve two purposes.

Filipino coffee traders called on villagers in Mountain Province to stop capturing and eating civet cats (Paradoxurus phippinensis) because a decline in the cat population would cause a decline in the supply of one of the world's most expensive coffee varieties. Civet cats eat ripe coffee berries, and local coffee traders gather the beans from their droppings to produce the most expensive coffee varieties in the world. The civet cat, locally known as motit or alamid, is a nocturnal animal that roams the forests of northern Philippines and dwells on rocks where fruit-bearing trees grow nearby.
