I think it is something similar to the register that taxidermists have to keep, basically it means any sporrans manufactured from anything remotely at risk (endangered), it is supposed to enable the powers that be ( "The Sporran Police") trace the source of the item. In the same way that taxidermists have to prove the origin and cause of death etc of their material.
I hope this makes some sense to you all, before too much south of the border piss taking starts

Blimey! You should all just move to Oz. Over here, you're allowed to kill & eat whatever you can catch or shoot.

I believe we're the only country that eats everything on our coat of arms.


(Reminds me of Bill Oddie's "coat of arms"... bwaaaahahahaha...)

Yeah but you also have 8 of the 10 deadliest critters.

9 of 11 if you include Aussie Rules players.
