Welfare context
Exotic animal cafe
This cafe keeps wild or exotic species. Welfare groups criticise these venues because the animals' needs — space, temperature, night-time activity, solitude — are hard to meet in a cafe. We list them with this label rather than hiding them, so you can decide for yourself.
derived from stated species (otters)
Asian small-clawed otters were moved to CITES Appendix I in 2019 — the strictest protection there is — because of illegal trade. Research by TRAFFIC and the IUCN Otter Specialist Group ties Japan's otter cafe boom to that demand, and DNA testing of otters in Japanese cafes has matched poaching hotspots in southern Thailand. Tokyo has more otter cafes than any other city. Source: TRAFFIC
