I thought I would get a lot more people being upset about what I did than people being supportive of what I was doing.
My name is Mariel Bierstrom.
I love all types of animals.
I've grown up my entire life here.
A real small, rural farming community.
And I farm the dead.
I preserve the dead.
So when you're looking at one of my freeze-dried lambs or something, the skeleton is in that.
So the organs and stuff have been removed, the animal's been preserved in formaldehyde, you know, injected, fixed, and then freeze-dried.
Doing the floral arrangements, I really enjoy that.
