[Sca-cooks] RESEND: Furry Lobster

[Huette von Ahrens]

I don't know where you found this information, but it is untrue.  One can still easily
find Nauga hides in cars and on chairs and in yardage shops.  I believe that there is
a farmer who is trying to breed the Nauga and provide a source for farm raised hides, 
rather than have the wild Naugas hunted to extinction...
