Would you wear fur from roadkill?

This woman makes high-end fashion items from animals hit by automobiles in the US. Personally, this sounds like a wonderful idea. The animal is dead anyway so why not use its fur. Of course, many of the pelts will have significant damage.

I have been thinking about this,but there is not much left then i hit one.

I was very close hitting a moose once and that had been nasty.

If you had hit that moose with your car, you might be dead and buried right now.

I know this thread is super old but I didn’t care to create a new thread when the topic is very related.

Came across a super fresh roadkill this morning on the way home - a decent sized raccoon that looked perfectly intact (at least externally) and it’s coat was immaculate.

so, the short answer answer would be, yes - based on the quality of the fur. However, you’re looking at a bunch of similar patterned roadkill in order for the pelts to match.
 

Wouldn’t know the first thing to do though in terms of processing it into a pelt even if I was tempted to somehow bring it back. Does a taxidermy service do this as a side service?
