They may be using them for magick.  That's my guess.  It could be a pagan 
thing.  People use wolf's hair and other animal treasures in ritual.  And 
contrary to most beliefs, pagans do not harm any living thing, whether 
erson,
plant or animal.  Using the animal's treasure in a spell may give the person 

quality of the animal, such as cunning of a fox, if they use hair or whiskers 
of a fox.   
Well, it was just a thought...
