The origin of Kopi Luwak was used as a gimmick, no sale, no killing.
The origin of Kopi Luwak has been used as a gimmick and now mostly comes from coconut cats in cages.
But now, it is hard to see the original Kopi Luwak. Today's Kopi Luwak comes mostly from wild coconut cats in cages, and they are generally kept in harsh conditions. A Japanese scientist recently claimed to have invented a way to tell whether coffee beans come from wild coconut cats or captive coconut cats, especially if he can tell whether coffee beans come from wild coconut cats or captive ones.
Many coffee companies around the world are still using the original story about wildlife digestion habits as a stunt to sell Kopi Luwak. Many companies claim that they can only collect 500kg Kopi Luwak a year. And use this scarcity to justify its high price (Kopi Luwak usually sells for $200,400 per kilogram, sometimes more). In fact, although exact figures are not available, I estimate that Kopi Luwak's annual global production is at least 50 tons, much more than that is possible. Now farmers in India, Vietnam, China and the Philippines have joined the production of Kopi Luwak.

Now Kopi Luwak has become the product of industrialization, and coconut cats have been treated cruelly.
Today's Kopi Luwak in Indonesia is basically the product of industrial production, and the original ecology is almost impossible. Doesn't that sound a little disgusting? That's true. These timid and solitary creatures have to be huddled in a cage with their own kind, which puts them under great pressure, and an abnormal diet with too much emphasis on coffee fruits also makes them suffer from other health problems. Coconut cats in cages begin to fight with each other, even bite off their legs, feces begin to carry blood, and death is even more common.
In Indonesia, the trapping of wild coconut cats is supposed to be strictly controlled, but they are caged by poachers and forcibly fed with coffee fruits to excrete more feces with coffee beans. and it's all for profiteering and the hypocritical pleasures of some people.
Kopi Luwak's business has been a great success, especially among consumers who spend a lot of money. If you are worried about preparing a birthday present for your tuhao friend, how about spending 6500 pounds on a Kopi Luwak wrapped in 24-karat gold foil at Harrods, the most famous and upscale department store in the UK? In fact, what you buy is no longer Kopi Luwak, just like Thai shit coffee and Brazilian sparrow shit coffee, which are popular all over the world, are just used to satisfy people's insatiable desire for this strange and superficial vanity.

Kopi Luwak can't sacrifice wildlife. It's time to stop it.
At the beginning, I made an inadvertent purchase, which led to such incredible progress. At that time I introduced Kopi Luwak to the UK. It was a strange and novel short story, but now it has been overpriced and over-industrialised. People use it to cover themselves with a veil of hypocrisy to whitewash their abnormal taste and senseless vanity. I hope everyone can think about it, to satisfy their own interest can not be at the expense of wild animals, this cancer can no longer continue, it is time to stop.

It is the 2015-2016 harvest season in Yunnan, and according to the Yunnan Coffee Industry Association, Yunnan coffee production will reach about 130000 tons this year. Due to the recent decline in futures prices in New York, Yunnan coffee will once again experience an increase in production if it continues to follow the previous acquisition practice of subtracting 1020 cents from the New York futures price.
