you. and you know what it's time all voices. on the subject to seven percent be talk about the issues. this is where you cut the seventy seven percent this weekend on g.w. . playing. the blame. this rabbit probably had thirty seconds of life after it was hit. and that was it. us designer pamela paco in terms of road kill it's 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.

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. so this is all forests and fields and so on so the animals that live in this area come down into town possums particularly coyote cats to set for the food sources but. this is the 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 road kill 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

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. 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 a new. you know member every year. so this is your flesh lord george source these cowhides from the start. for a very beautiful. oh yeah that's right look this is from free. work these recoups were shot by a hunter but pamela prefers road kill always hope

you get your. coyote right in your week or so which ones are mine and you want to. order one of the grocers these are all broken or the story. our think this one. yeah this one this is a good one. it's a pretty color that gray in there that's really pretty so i'm just looking at the different colors here in the patterns. because if i can match them then i can make those big neck muffs and i would. take it and essentially i put them but to but then they come around. and there is to know something like that. pamela lives in south bridge of former industrial tone near boston to be the old factory buildings are generally. and she said of her studio you know from each

factory. her label is called piece for. there are two things i like about this. and 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 that the 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 scraped on the road and see where that 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. turns a run over martin into a cute scarf and a possum into a pair of gloves her accessories sell for between eighty five and two thousand five hundred dollars she wants to cater to customers who would normally never dream of

flying 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 and 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 with old gloves that's part of her concept of the open 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. a little thing that hit

in the. d.c.u. . so i'm just working on getting off some of the foreign that's still good. she's muscles i like that i live just around the corner here so we're putting her in the last demonstration is great advertising for her unconventional fur business she's convinced there is demand for her and. 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 if you grew up surrounded by nature. and human sitting around the fire that was an act. so until recently she worked as a business consultant. after divorcing from her husband she bought her parents land and build a little five. 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 and fencing him 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 if it be nice to be dinner. be nicer for 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. 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 mud season if 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 is so she can showcase her for products on her website. 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 and they're getting hit on roofs sex yeah it's. turning a mean. 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

stay profitable and also that their clientele doesn't have to feel guilty about fur 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 they have 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 their. and who knows maybe parallels the road kill business really will help revolutionize the fur industry. but. for.
