the deep. cuts. nothing recipes for success strategy that make a difference. baking bread on the d.w. . but a bit of. this rabbit probably had thirty seconds of life after it was hit. and that was it. u.s. designer pamela pickwick turns roadkill into a stylish accessory. she creates her unique fashion items in her studio in selfridges massachusetts. love them others loath them either way her business model could revolutionize the first industry.
1:17 pm
pamela always keeps a close eye on the road when she's driving looking for roadkill. in springtime in the u.s. state of massachusetts many wild animals come out of winter hibernation and get hit by cars during this period pamela carefully scans the road for dead animals. from here out is rural so this is all forest and fields and so on so the animals that live in this area come down into town possums skunks raccoons particularly coyotes for cats to sit for the food sources but. this is the
1:18 pm
spot where they meet the chain link fence the water the houses and the road. it's estimated that in the u.s. one million animals are killed by cars the. animal rights groups are outraged by this. pamela roadkill is good for business. provided the fur can be recovered. oh no i can't use this. oh my god. now to what i mean about bunnies getting totally squashed. bunnies tend to not fare well he really got squashed i can't really use that he's older too. but he's also presents
1:19 pm
a risk for scavengers coming in the road and getting hit when they look to eat him so i'm just moving him off the side of the road so that if any scavengers come they don't get hit also. now. pamela produces some two hundred first per year though she doesn't fund all of them herself. sometimes she buys them from george going to. get thea. george is a butcher by training and sells first on the sun today pamela is collecting on you . you know remember your words i see. so this is your flesh lord george soros these cowhides from the start of the. very beautiful. oh yeah that's right look at that this is from free. these recoups were shot by a hunter but pamela prefers road kill always hope that
1:20 pm
you just. you were right in your sweet truth so which ones are mine any one of. the girls are these are all broken or the story. i would think this one. yeah this one is a good one it's a pretty color that gray and there that's really pretty so i'm just looking at the different colors here on the patterns. because if i can match them then i can make those big neck muffs and i would. take it and the century i put them but to but. when they come around. to notice something like that. pamela lives in southbridge a former industrial tel near boston today the old factory buildings are generally.
1:21 pm
and she said of her studio you know good from each factory. her label is called peace for. there are two things i like about this. one. one is doing something that matters providing a real option something that animal activists who care and love animals can get onboard with and something about for industry can get onboard with i'm not demanding the end to their industry i'm simply suggesting another sourcing methodology. these are baby gear obviously this one is
1:22 pm
a bit bigger you can see right here where he got great on the road and see where he's got a little injury right there let me show you this girl i picked this girl up in new hampshire and you can see you see right here she had actually been hit when i picked her up off the road and her whole back hind quarter was really severely damaged so i had to cut around it so when i don't get to it in time and it's a little bit rotten. the bacteria has had a chance to work and the hair slips out and you get these big giant bald spots so that's why timeliness matters we only do it in the winter that's when i collect the animals it's essentially november to march. over march into a cube scarf and a possum into a pair of gloves or accessories for between eighty five and two thousand five hundred dollars she wants to cater to customers who would normally never dream of
1:23 pm
buying it for a product. this was something that would make a difference in the world that would provide a third option you could have biodegradable sustainable of jarius heirloom material and you wouldn't have animals dying for fashion or in cages or anything like that but it can't be done without blood that's part of her concept at the open air museum old sturbridge village pamela demonstrates how to kill she will never forget the first time she did this. i had about six shots of whiskey and the raccoon was putrified liquid inside and i was semi vomiting into my mask i had essentially a hazmat suit on at the time i've gotten a lot more comfortable with it now because i know what i'm doing now she wants to get others comfortable with the idea kill. her little things out here.
1:24 pm
you see. so i'm just working on getting off some of the fur that's so good. to see as much as i like that i live just around the corner here so we're putting her in the us demonstration is great advertising for her unconventional fur business she's convinced there is demand for her. so but first season is basically over they're all shouting now you know they're losing their fur after the winter and. it's a chance for them really to see animals killed on the roads to not be discussed and to be curious to see that they're still of value and that there's something to be recovered from that animal and so it becomes not just about fur in and of itself but the the mindset that allows you to see value in something that others consider waste. most parents
1:25 pm
were farmers few grew up surrounded by nature. and human sitting around the puddles and act. so until recently she worked as a business consultant. after divorcing from her husband she bought her parents land and build a little farm. she's a single mom who used to take matters into her own hands just like your parents taught her. growing up on a farm has influenced her way of seeing in treating animals for her their family only rarely does she feel animals to eat we had a goat and he started attacking my daughter and bruising her legs and i tried to work with him we tried to keep him in fencing he'd plow through the fencing so finally we ate him you know so that's that's the way it is if you're not nice what is it be nicer be dinner. be nicer be dinner
1:26 pm
that's the rule i don't want my farm you don't have to. and that's why we work with other farmers locally. bring went into the side so i can get at the gate. later horses are herded into the paddock. and. pamela's daughter always helps out around the farm her mom wants her to learn that keeping animals is a privilege but also comes with responsibilities right out. it's mud season you can't tell. why i grew up on a farm and the rule was you can't eat it unless you take part in raising it and then killing it and processing and so as a rule from when i was a little girl and i was very fortunate in that you know to have access to so farm
1:27 pm
and to see where my food came from. final preparations are being made for a photo shoot him pamela studio she's hired a model and the photographer is so she can showcase her for products on her website . so. yeah a lot of these actually get him down on cape cod because there are living now in the. what you call it in the canal the authors are living in the canal and they're coming up and they're getting hit on roofs x. yeah it's. turning in the. true. but don't look at her actually i want you looking eyes away i don't want you looking at the photographer close your eyes. there that's good that's good my goal ultimately is to change the furnace tree for the better so that they can
1:28 pm
stay profitable and also that their clientele doesn't have to feel guilty about far and where it comes from because whether or not it's my opinion or the furrier's opinions a lot of urban living people don't want to be associated with caging and so i'm trying to be help the fur industry be responsive to that that critique. pamela doesn't mind that some people go ahead mentally oppose all of her products because she's convinced she's running an ethical business. that's helped out and then criss cross in front of bring there. and who knows maybe parallels the road kill business really will help revolutionize the fur industry.
