9:30 am
the. animal rights groups are outraged by this. pamela road kill is good for business. provided the first can be recovered. oh no i can't use this. oh my god. now 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 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. so. pamela produces some two hundred first per year though she doesn't fund all of them herself.
9:31 am
sometimes she buys them from george going to. get to see. george is a butcher by training and sells first on the sun today pamela is collecting on you . you know remember every year i get. so this is your flash forward george soros he's cowhides from a starter. for a very beautiful. oh yeah that's right this is from free. these recruits were shot by a hunter but pamela prefers road kill always hope that you get. you were great in your crew which were true so which ones are mine and one of. the girls are these are all broken or in the story.
9:32 am
i would think this one. yeah this one is 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 know something like that. pamela lives in southbridge of a former industrial tome near boston today the old factory buildings are generally . and she said of her studio you know defunct cotton factory. her label is called peace for.
9:33 am
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 on board 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 a bit bigger you can see right here where he got straight on the road and see where that will ensure you are 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
9:34 am
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. turns a run over march into a cute scarf and a possum into a pair of gloves her accessories for between eighty five and two thousand five hundred dollars she wants to cater to customers who would normally never dream of buying up 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
9:35 am
and you wouldn't have animals dying for fashion are in cages or anything like that but it can't be done with old gloves that's part of her concept of 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 of skinning road kill. poor little thing that hit in the. p.c. . so i'm just working on getting off some of the fur that's still good. enough it's like this i live just around the corner here so we're putting her in
9:36 am
the last 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's 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. parents were farmers. nature. and human sitting around the pot it was an act. so until recently she worked as a business consultant. after
9:37 am
divorcing from her husband she bought her parents land and build a little fun. she's a single mom and used to taking 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 their family only rarely does she feel animals to eat them 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 would it be nicer be dinner. be nicer be dinner that's the rule. of 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.
9:38 am
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. of the 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 that you know to have access to so farm 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 a photographer and so she can showcase her for products on her website.
9:39 am
so. yeah a lot of these actually get hit 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 they're getting hit on roofs x. yeah it's. turning to mean. true. but don't look at her actually i want you looking eyes away i don't want you looking at the photographer or. 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 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. of those

i thought in sport models what off tonight in sport post-mortem gets i think it's now forty. despite its weight of more than two tons the m eight fifty i convertible really sprints off the starting line that's all thanks to the four point four leader v a turbo charged gasoline engine that moves from zero to one hundred in three point nine seconds the top speed has been a lot tronic lee limited to two hundred fifty kilometers per hour and germany prices for the top engine started nearly one hundred thirty four thousand euro us in against us the steering is like a one thousand inch braking system is super exact you can gauge it precisely and the eight speed automatic transmission means it doesn't need to bother with the gears. the convertible comes with all wheel drive and sports differential as standard the electronically controlled rear axle differential lock i don't leave provides optimum traction it also helps with
