I have it on very good reputation that all the commercially available Arctic Acrylabeast hides come only from road kill. The National Geographic researched the rumors of dwindling herds and found just the opposite. A normally shy and timid beast (except for those long canine teeth and rear claws which they use to dig through the frozen tundra for their favorite food, the Burrowing Artic Shoestring Snake.) It seems that the Acrylabeast breeds better than Lemmings and the overpopulation causes them to go mad and commit suicide by running out in front of logging trucks on the Alaska Highway. Greenpeace is now involved protesting the Inuit trafficking in Acrylabeast hides. They believe that as more hides find their way into the New York and Paris fashion runways demand will place undue stress on the herds and cause a huge underground market and that soon licensed hunting will begin to cull the herds.
As the traditional migration routes of the Acrylabeast create huge swaths of overturned earth which the Oil Companies and Power Line Companies have always used for free, it is felt that if the herds are culled Gas and Electricity prices will rise due to increased costs of actually having to clear their own routes for pipelines.
“We have already seen a decline in the quality of furs.” Said Inuit Chief Agulicuactx McTundra. “Our traditional art and livelihood is in danger as more non-tribal sporran makers discover the beauty of our Arctic Acrylabeast firs.”

I have to admit to it, I DO! Are you in a big rush? The cantles I have are hand poured pewter and I have six new designs coming out in the spring along with waistplate to match. ( waistplate is optional ) Not what you would call cheap, but then quality items never are. For those in North America they fall under NAFTA so there would be no Import duties tagged on.

Jim,
A very handsome fancy dress sporran. I admire someone who can take inexpensive odds and ends and make something that is so much more than the sum of it's parts.
Good work!
As for the Wizard...
