    If you're planning on bringing it into the US, you don't.

    It's illegal. And the faux seal skin looks damned close, anyway - so much so that I've called the vendor back once just to make sure it's faux.

    Guess you missed the sealskin thread, eh?

    A reputable dealer (for example) should have mentioned upfront that sealskin wouldn't be allowed into the US. Try for a partial refund, or return the sporran you received for a full refund.
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.
