Roadkill art for sale A Gloucestershire artist is selling a squashed hare and fox in a frame for £35,000.
Adam Morrigan, 38, from Horsley, scraped the animals off the road, skinned them and then displayed them in a frame.
Mr Morrigan has a "roadkill hotline" for people to call when they spot a flattened animal, reports the Daily Mail.
He skins the animals and, depending on what he has found, eats the flesh, before using their hides for his sculptures.
In the past, he has feasted on badgers, foxes, squirrels and hares.
The 38-year-old admits many people cringe at the thought of having roadkill adorning their walls at home.
"The whole process of using roadkill is to highlight how we have become alienated from the natural world," he said.
"I myself eat the road kill. Badger tastes like pork, and squirrel is quite nutty. We're told these things are not edible because we're conditioned to think of them as vermin."
He says his two sons, aged eight and 12, and seven year-old daughter - who are all vegetarians - love his work.
It can be seen this month at Griffin Mill, near Stroud, as part of the town's arts festival.
