    OK,this one bugged me so I did a bit of research. It seems the Black Testure is enjoying a relativly stable population on most of its historic range and due to farming, there is little pressure on the animal, due to the hide trade. The Brown Testure, however, is not in good shape, due to the pressures of humans on their coastal ranges in South Africa. The Sinve Boar is an entirely different matter alltogether. Native to Sumatra,Borneo and a few neighboring islands, their population has never been large. Recent fashion trends, and human encroachment on their environment, have pushed the Sinve( or Senve) to the very brink. (Save the Sivne.org) In November, celeb, Paris Hilton, turned a full length, Silver Sinve coat over to P.E.T.A. officials. Rumored to be worth$ 80,000, P.E.T.A. has yet to announce what their plans are, for this garment... one can only assume they will splash red paint on it, and send it on a Mall tour, accompanied by pix of baby Sinve and such. Trust me; even if you could find (and afford) Sinve, and if P.E.T.A. doesn't follow the package to your house- and procede to burn straw Tigers, and effigies of your entire immediate family ,on your lawn... you'll find the cost of Sinve, to be ridiculous. More in keeping with a Ferrari, or Bon Jovi's pants, than a VX console. Try Warthog, or Andulusian boar instead. Trust me... if you don't tell 'em, they won't know the difference, Happy New Year...
