Kopi luwak coffee is an exotic coffee produced from beans partially digested by an Asian palm civet. This mammal searches the wild for fruit, berries and pulpy or hard fruits containing coffee cherries which contain seeds used in Kopi luwak coffee production. Once eaten by this animal, they excrete their contents as droppings that are collected, washed and roasted into this premium coffee that boasts lower acidity and smoother flavors than regular varieties.

As it is made using cat droppings that remain on the beans without being washed off properly, kopi luwak’s halal status remains up for debate. Muslims are instructed in several verses of the Quran to only consume food which is clean and healthy, not anything filthy or potentially hazardous; some scholars argue that drinking this coffee constitutes violating this commandment since its consumption contains impurities known as najis (impurities from cat droppings) which cannot be fully removed through washing processes alone – some scholars believe its consumption contains forbidden because its contents contain impurities which cannot be washed off thoroughly enough during manufacturing processes; some scholars believe its consumption constitutes forbidden because it contains impurities left by not washing; others argue against its production due to being unknowingly exposed during manufacture, rather than after washing processes that remove impurities from cat droppings being added through washing off processs or production techniques due to containment of impurities present within its beans which do contain impurities that cannot be washed off properly during processing and therefore consumption may contain prohibited due to having contained najis present within its beans which would prevent proper consumption as this coffee would contain najis present as it contains najis present within its beans which makes its consumption forbidden by virtue of having contained within its beans contained within its beans that may contain najis present due to containments present within its production process as these impurities present from cat droppings as its beans which were left inside beans that wasn’t thoroughly enough or some scholars believe its production process which makes its production; consumption may prohibits consumption being due its production process due to presence najis present within its beans which contains these impurities on them not fully rinsed during its final stage due to contain such impurities; hence making this produce and thus being forbidden due najis content as such beans (najis). Therefore some scholars belief.

Other scholars, on the other hand, assert that when civet beans are thoroughly washed and cleaned prior to roasting, they become pure (tahir) and may be consumed safely. Furthermore, their stomach secretes enzymes that aid in breaking down and fermenting of beans to provide a milder flavor with lower acidity levels; making their role in creating kopi luwak completely permissible.

PETA cautions consumers not to purchase this coffee due to its unhumane production process. Civets are captured from their native habitat and held captive in captivity in order to meet consumer demand for this expensive coffee, often exposed to their own urine and faeces, forced to fight among themselves for food, living in cramped conditions and forced into fights among themselves for survival. Furthermore, this industry can have unintended repercussions for the environment due to disruptions of natural habitat as well as hunting pressure increases on rare species like Civets.

PETA strongly urges consumers to opt for organic fair trade and sustainably-sourced coffee instead of kopi luwak to help curb demand for coffee made with civet poop and reduce captures of wild civets. Furthermore, boycotting civet-poop farms would further help curb their impact as this will help lessen demand and cut demand for such coffee made with wild civet poop farms. PETA advises purchasing only coffee from companies which support sustainable farming practices with fair wages paid farmers – helping reduce both demand for such coffee while simultaneously helping captures of wild civets being caught to reduce pandemic outbreaks. PETA strongly advises consumers opting for organic fair trade coffee over kopi luwak to help curb demand as this would help cut demand and captures of wild civets for farms while supporting companies supporting sustainable farming practices with fair wages paid farmers; purchasing such companies will help decrease demand while simultaneously reduce demand from coffee made from wild captures being caught to capture.
