What to do with mongoose?

[Fishboy]

I didn't want to hijack the discussion on chickens and mongoose, and I'd like to talk about a slightly different angle to this topic.

The abundance of such an animal and the state sanction on their eradication makes me wonder if there's a commercial use that could spark an interest in trapping. There's a fair market for exotic hides and furs among the natives of Alaska and Canada as parka lining, boots, mittens, and hats. I've never held one, so can't speak to the quality of the fur. Can anyone, preferably someone with an appreciation for fur, tell us if mongoose fur is at all supple and not coarse?
