Saturday morning, Marvel and his 4-year-old son Siaden were driving down Robert Boulevard in Slidell when they noticed some road kill on side of the major thoroughfare. This is, after all, the South, so they pulled over to see if they might gather anything useful from this interaction of man and nature.

When they got close, they could tell the animal was a beautiful grey fox whose pelt was in fur-coat condition.


quote:

"I'm hoping he'll remember it for a long time, and I'm sure he will," Marvel said. "We were at Target last night, and he had my phone. He showed everyone we came across the pictures. He's very excited about it."






One thing that annoys me about NOLA.com is that the author's will comment and defend their piece against trolls and ignorants but this interaction was amazing!

What a disgusting little story, and the pictures are even worse. I wonder if while he was playing around with this dead animal he ever stopped to think it may be diseased or carrying parasites? What kind of nut job stops to examine roadkill?

@dznygrl Good point. We should teach our kids that clothes have always come from Old Navy and the Meat Fairy waves her wand to fill grocery-store cases with pre-packaged steaks.

but years ago, the free-spirited Marvel was staying with natives in northern British Columbia who taught him how to use animal brains to tan bear hides.

"That's the traditional way of doing it," he said. "I wanted (Siaden) to learn that. This is how people made their own clothes."

Couple years ago my sis in law hit a nice buck on the way home. stopped the car and called her dad and 911. state popo stopped and shot it in head. another truck stopped and was about to load it up when paw in law showed up and claimed the beast. said he only had liability on the car she was driving so he was at least going to get something out of it.
