Eva Mendes Poses Nude to Speak Out Against Fur http://www.furisdead.com/buttons/full_eva_mendes.jpg Enter to win an iPod Touch and a copy of Hitch on DVD. Eva Mendes 'I'd Rather Go Naked' Anti-Fur PETA Ad Click on image to enlarge Eva Mendes is one of Hollywood's sexiest leading ladies, sharing screen time with the likes of Nicolas Cage, Will Smith, Joaquin Phoenix, and Mark Wahlberg. A regular red-carpet knockout, Eva is courted by all the top designers, but you can rest assured that she will never show up to any event draped in fur. In fact, she'd rather go naked than wear fur of any kind! That's why this sexy Latina posed nude for PETA's anti-fur campaign alongside the tagline "Fur? I'd rather go naked." In her interview with PETA, Eva says, "I want people to know that there are options—that killing a poor animal and wearing it isn't cool ... respecting all life forms is cool." We couldn't have said it better! Like most people, Eva wasn't always aware of the cruelty of the fur trade. She told us, "I remember having my first premiere in New York City and being so naïve that I didn't have a coat with me. My stylist sent me a ... fur wrap for the evening, and I ignorantly wore it. PETA then wrote me a beautiful letter commenting on my less-than-educated choice. I was so impressed that I vowed to them and myself to NEVER wear real fur on the red carpet or in my life again." As Eva knows, the fur trade is a violent, bloody industry that has no place in fashion. On fur farms in China, where most fur originates, minks, foxes, rabbits, and other animals are kept in tiny wire cages in all weather extremes. They are strangled, bludgeoned, and often skinned while they are still alive. Since fur is often deliberately mislabeled, if you wear fur, there's no way to tell whose skin you're in—it could even be cat or dog fur. Follow Eva's example and sign PETA's pledge to be fur-free today!

Eva Mendes is intellectually challenged if she has to strip to make a political point. See the coyote, he's running in the pasture: Oops, the little coyote ran into a .17 Remington bullet: Can't waste the fur, so into the fur shed he goes along with his brothers and sisters: The final result. : It's up to man to utilize the resources God gives us.
Repent, Repent
It's too late, I'm a confirmed killer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtmyKJRDx6A Not my handywork^^, but I do the same thing after deer season is over. http://www.coyotegods.com/
By the way, I hunt deer too. But I hunt with a bow to get away from drunk road hunter goobers who might kill me thinking I'm a deer, and because I am a good enough shot and stalker out in the boonies where I worked so many years a rifle is no real challenge anymore. I helped bust an illegal trapline years ago, the trapper had pieces of bald eagle as bait in some of the traps to use as a lure. I just wish I had found this alone, I could of kept the Fish and Game out of it and had just set up an ambush. Alas I was on a progeny tree plantation site set- up crew when we discovered this. I am glad they caught the perp though anyway. At least there something good happened.
FYI, coyotes are expanding out of their traditional area of habitat, they now live on the East Coast and all parts of Canada. There's no shortage of coyotes, in Texas you can legally hunt them 24/7/365, same goes for mountain lions.
There should be wolves, bear and cougar in that ecosystem too, but our culture is insane and wipes them out. One dream of mine is to go to Alaska and shoot down a helicopter with wolf killers in it. Now, that would be highly satisfying.
We've got wolves, bears (small numbers in East Texas), and cougars (i.e. mountain lions: different name, same critter)in all 254 counties. Texas settlers wiped out the wolves in Texas because they were indiscriminate killers. They're back (in small areas) and they're protected, but the livestock killers still seem to "disappear" much to the dismay of goobbermint officials.
I'd shoot anyone I knew as a preditor killer. Especially if I caught them in the act.
We're on constant coyote watch around here. Especially during calving season. I lost two calves outright and had to put another one down last year due to coyotes. I've found a 65 grain .223 bullet is an effective deterrent at up to 300 yards.
Destroying a critical part of ecosystems by killing off the top of the food chain is an evil insult to life as a whole. If people can't factor the expenses all life in an ecosystem create, they don't deserve their business. I've listened to the people high in various state governments who don't get the message and plan on destroying wolves when the protection is reduced by de- listing. And I see the Japanese refuse to get the message about whaling. We need to notch up the intensity on the fight to destroy any competitors at the top of the food chain by humans, the most dangerous and often the most self serving and irrationally heartless animal on the planet; humans. Earth First!
Do you know how razor thin the margins are for beef producers. If I couldn't reduce predation I'd be forced out of business or have to go to a factory style set-up with no free range grazing at all.

Yes, I do. Do you know how badly even not allowing large North American mammals the free range they need to spread genetic information far and wide enough to protect the genetic integrity of their species hurts their chances to avoid extinction? Do you understand the important role predators like wolves, wolverines, coyotes have to do the same sort of thing by virtue of the sorts of members of their prey species their needs take out? I care about ecosystems and life on the whole knowing that in the end that is the sort of focus on stewardship of life that will serve mankind the best. We have maims, destroyed and marginalized the various webs of life on this planet far to much and too badly. Good luck with your business, but if in the end predators need friends with rifles and skills to defend them to keep them around, they will come and defend them.
