Your question has occurred to us.
The fur on the several we've recycled (under fruit trees) was soft, with short, fine hair.
As a lad, I hunted, skinned and ate rabbit and squirrel. The mongoose skin would appear to be closer to a squirrel than a rabbit. I've never attempted to remove the pelt from a mongoose. Only buried them.
In a highly recommended little book, among many interesting aspects is a tale regarding a major strike where upon the plantation workers were put out of their plantation houses. Where the strikers were living along the river in old Honolulu (near China town), mongoose recipes were a regular.
