Eva Mendes Renounces Fur, Still Absolutely Loves Leather

eva-mendes-fur-2You know the Oscar-worthy scripts aren’t exactly rolling in when Eva Mendes takes a starring role in a snuff film for PETA:

The sexy star admits she once wore fur to a Hollywood event, but she’ll never repeat her mistake.

And, by way of repenting, she’s hosting a new Internet expose about the fur industry.

The film includes the latest investigation of fur farms and markets in China, the world’s largest fur exporter.

Mendes tells WENN, “Millions of animals are killed for their pelts each year… I didn’t always know how animals were killed for their fur, and I even wore fur once myself.

“When I learned how cruel the fur industry is – and that there are no laws protecting these animals – I swore that I’d never wear it again. Please join me today as we go behind the scenes of the international fur trade, and find out how you can look glamorous without supporting animal suffering.”

Well first of all, she didn’t wear fur only “once.” Nice try, glamourpuss.

But more importantly, if it’s wrong to kill animals for their pelts, how does she explain her ongoing fascination with Ferragamo’s gathered leather hobo this fall? (Which is lined in moth-murdering silk, no less.) That Prada leather-and-lace bowler she carries would be the star of any serious bag-collector’s archives. And she totally rocked that jade green ostrich clutch by Bulgari in September. You know how you can tell it’s ostrich leather? You can see the nubs where the tanners tore out the bird’s feathers. Super animal friendly!

And have you seen this woman’s shoe collection? Giuseppe Zanotti, Christian Louboutin, and Brian Atwood have never met a cow they didn’t immediately want to turn into a stiletto.

Why is it so damn hard for PETA people to understand that leather is made the same way as fur?

    “Fur” is cute and reminds you of the pets you have/have had in your life.

    “Leather” isn’t nearly as cute, and doesn’t call up the images of the cute fluffy critters.

    Therefore – on the “badness” scale, “leather” > “fur”.

    QED.

    Who? And why is she important?

    Eva, dear, nobody looks at you because you do or don’t wear fur. They don’t care. They just wish you would shut up and take your clothes off. Please understand this and stop talking like you give a damn.

    Bigmama…I bet they would look even longer if she was naked in a fur. But you are right, she didn’t make it as an (cough cough) actor because of her acting talents.

    I sort of automatically block out anything this woman says because she’s the single greasiest-looking human being I’ve ever seen, and I’m counting the Desitin-slathered toddler I once babysat. Oil. Lee.

    Rice powder is cruelty-free, sweetie. Better get on that.

    I don’t think I’ll ever be able to truly hate her since she did show some hilarious self awareness in Stuck on You. Sure, her character isn’t named Eva Mendes, but she’s still playing herself.

    Just so you guys know, leather and fur are not made the same way. They are two different industries.Leather is a by-product of the meat industry, whereas fur is an industry in itself and the animals meat is a by-product. This does not justify leather, but as long as people eat meat there will be leather. Fur is an absolutely disgusting industry! I understand how these celebrities are hypocritical, but you guys need to know that fur and leather do not contain the same process.
