Has anyone ever heard of using the pelt of nutria for sporrans?

I ask because I heard a bit on NPR about a county in Louisianna where they have to ride around fragging these little guys because they're invasive species and ripping up the landscape. The look like mini-beavers and, while I tend to not fancy wearing the skin of anything that I would like to have as a pet...and I've had pet pigs...and I love a good ham sandwich, it looks like a nice material and almost a public service to create a demand for an invasive pest.
