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!

It got your attention, didn't it? For better or worse?

That, and 9 years of vegitarianism/being a vegan brah.
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.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. For better or worse? No this conversation got my attention...I only looked at the "photo" for a second!
Killing One Person Is Murder...Killing 100,000 is Foreign Policy!

gringo de mierda
Good. That was the point.
Guess I might need it explained to me...why a naked woman causes me not to buy fur? Really...we are in the year 2008 who the hell still wears it? Maybe 100 years ago when wearing it might have meant life or death...guess someone has to have a reason to take their clothes off!!!!

You are kidding me right? Killing animals for fur is a multi billion dollar industry.

WHY that is my question WHY is it such a big business any longer?

carnívoro de asshole
Because people are stupid. Hey, how can millions of drunk hockey watching beer swilling canucks be wrong?
lol
Good point! Guess why it makes me so mad is because this puts a message out to children, especially pre teen girls...that the only way to be heard is to get naked! I know that is somewhat extreme and if this was the only ad that did it..I wouldn't even bother..guess I am sick of being bombarded by sex all the time..and the fact little kids (even boys) are picking up on the WRONG message!!!
Killing One Person Is Murder...Killing 100,000 is Foreign Policy!
Yup, kids everywhere will drop their playboys and stop surfing Porn on the internet for pictures of naked chicks on PETA.com. And I am a haitian hair dresser from queens.
I get your point....
Killing One Person Is Murder...Killing 100,000 is Foreign Policy!
Consider upping the Foreign Policy number to one, or ten, or maybe one hundred million...we're on a roll.
Join the Ron Paul Revolution i clicked on the photo at the site and got the url for the pic of eva. then used html to post it. < img src = http://www.furisdead.com/buttons/full_eva_mendes.jpg > omit the spaces
She'd have a lot more credibility if she was just honest.......she's a friggin exhibitionist! BFD.........Oh, I forgot.......she's a LYING friggin exhibitionist. Wanna take bets on the number of leather shoes bimbo has in her closet? Or leather purses? Alec Baldwin was shown to be an ass over this crap, too........like the evironuts who don't want petro fuels, but don't have a problem flying in planes or riding in vehicles that use ............ta dah.......petro fuels!!
God wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts!
okay thanks.
laughing...

Hey, don't knock assholes. Where would we be without them?
The point being, the primary motivation for her and the others is self promotion and satisfying a prurient desire to appear naked. Saving furry animals is merely an afterthought.
Are you and the rest of the animal eating, fur wearing christian PC entertainment combine morality police going to arrest them?
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.
"There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." - Otto von Bismarck
Is it also up to man to destroy and use up the resources too? I don't recall god saying anything about that, but he is "god" so go figure...LOL
Fur resources haven't run out yet. The gov't. tried to extinguish the coyote in the 1940's and 1950's and God showed the folly of man when studies revealed that coyotes just step up the size of their litters when more lebensraum becomes available. Nature abhors a vacuum and all that....
"There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." - Otto von Bismarck
Humanity is a collective intellectual vacuum when people talk about god as the reason to kill animals and think of it as their 'right' cause some book said it.
Nin-ko-poop, people kill animals to eat and clothe themselves, not because god told em to do it. But, if man was too dumb to do it on his own, god would probably give man a hint. I don't know where you came from but you're surrounded by the TEXAS CANNIBALS & MILITIA GUN CLUB ... SURRENDER or be a coat !
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money ." --- Josiah Stamp

I suppose! Just doesn't make sense...how does her naked body make me not want to wear fur? Maybe that is because I have a brain cell left!

That and she was looking at any excuse for self promotion and to flash her wares.

Apparently the picture of Eva there has addled your brain.

If that photo saves the life of even one mink or chinchilla, it'll have been worth it.

Are YOU Eva Mendez? If so, the shameless self-promotion is a bit much. You've had some good parts lately, even if you can't act. Don't do a Sean Young.
