Importing and-or owning such animal hides here in the US can possibly land you in jail. Thats why you don't see to many romans here in the states wearing lion skins with their impressions...
Having an illegal lion pelt over here will most certainly get you in jail here too. Most lions that are used by European groups come from zoo's. It must be very depressing for these animals to know people are waiting for you to drop the hatchet.
Of course you need legal documents that these animals come from a zoo, died of natural causes etc... And rightly so of course.
