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!

If all the PETA types looked like Eva, I could be much more down with their program.
This deserves a picture, no?
How did you do that? I tried but the html did not load or sumthing.
I saved the pictures to my computer then uploaded them onto one of my websites so I could hot link them.
oh, so you cannot "hot link" here and have to tinypic or something? PS thanks for putting them up.
I just assumed that PETA protected those images from hotlinking. Besides, it's really not polite to hot link without permission. :)
I have never had a problem with other forums hot linking their pics. Sure, it might steal a little bandwidth from PETA, but it is "for the childrens", you know?
If that photo saves the life of even one mink or chinchilla, it'll have been worth it. In fact, it's already been worth it to me and I wasn't even thinking about buying a fur coat.
In fact, it's already been worth it to me and I wasn't even thinking about buying a fur coat. I was planning on running right out and buying three or four but now that I have seen that picture I stand corrected (or something like that). ahaha. Seriously, in this day and age I don't know why people still wear fur coats. I wouldn't contribute to that cruelty if I had plenty of money and could buy all of them a department store could hold.
