Eva Mendes Tells PETA Why She Is Fur-Free

[soytruka]

@flyingbeagles many make up lines offer animal free vegan products.

[LibertarianIdeals]

So what should we do with all the fur? Waste it? what? Because the animals will die whether you like it or not. People need to eat, and not everybody can be a vegetarian. Hundreds of thousands of people are dying everyday from malnutrition, how about we speak up for them and when we fix the problems with humans maybe we can start talking about animal fur, but until then Get your priorities straight.

[EpicPham]

@LibertarianIdeals

that, sir, is very shortsighted.

get your shit straight before writting such ignorant comments.

Talking about priorities, curbing our meat consumption would actualy "fix the problem with humans", with more fair planetary resource distribution. Instead of feeding all the grain to livestock for our burgers, we could feed the whole of africa 3 times over by feeding a tiny fraction of that grain directly to humans

[nattyaaa]

@LibertarianIdeals so ferret fox and chinchilla are your staple diet?? The reason why half the world is starving is because our greed for meat if we were all non-meat eaters no one would starve. The land, water and the nutrition needed to grow MCds burgers could feed the world. Meat does not feed the world vegetables do….talk about priorities

[climbv15]

@LibertarianIdeals Totally agree! The problem when arguing with these fanatics is that no matter how many solid facts you reference they will always dismiss it. PETA and other such activists groups have paid for and promoted domestic terrorism but they just see it as a means to an end. And now plant rights is starting to become an issue. I think all this is a psychiatric disorder.

[xLovexsharexsmilex]

Omg I can't even believe this happens. PETA has changed my life, I am 16 and a vegan and I am NEVER going back.

[flyingbeagles]

Does she know that makeup is tested on animals? How about that? Appreciate her effort though.

[mar91a]

These scenes made me cry.. For God's sake people stop producing fur already!! People who wear them are soulless and horrible creatures.. I am so angry that if I ever see a woman wearing a fur, I will go and slap her!!

[mohabat22]

why do they have to kill bunnies?

this is so heartbreaking. I never wore fur in my life but I know not to break that habit now

[TheAngelgirl7]

Why do people need to see those videos to change their minds!?

killing a creature is wrong not matter how you do it!!

Everyone's like "I never expected it to be so horrible!!" well what the hell were you expecting!!?? rainbows, flowers and happy bunnies living long peaceful lives!!?? DUUH!! GOD!! seriously people....

[agnosticification]

@TheAngelgirl7 your wrong humans are animals and i would have no problem eating meat if it were killed humanly without being tortured the way it is humans are the the only meat eating animals....other animals kill other animals and east them...humans need to change they way they are we need to stop torturing animals that is out problem if i were to go out and kill a dear with my hands not torture him at all kill him in the wild and eat him do you see a problem in that?

[domoluverforever]

Thank god that more people are becoming more animal friendly! Though the little clips that they were showing were heart breaking!

[fmitawol]

Sorry I cant watch this.  Peta....please don't show brutality in every vid. :'(.....

[teomin]

when we hunted animals thousands of years ago we killed the animal for food and used their hide as clothing because of necessity. Most animals that were hunted were killed BEFORE they were skinned or eaten. Even lions do the same, they kill the animal before they eat it. Most people who skin animals, do it for profit, not for necessity. That's the difference. Most times the animals being skinned are ALIVE. They're knocked around til they can't move but skinned while they're alive,educate urself

[hexalzink]

@teomin I see what you mean...but unfortunately our relationship to animals today has nothing more in common than what it used to be thousands of years ago. Now we treat them like slaves, like objects...

[ooozeGonnaSubscribe]

i bet nobody can watch those little rabbits shaking while they lose blood.

[SarahAnne8484]

@ooozeGonnaSubscribe Its pretty awful and sad

[morbidangelofdeath1]

so she's a pawn?

[bew373]

I bet her car has leather seats. In fact, I bet many of you have leather jackets. I don't support cruelty or brutality, just illustrating the paradox of all this.

[cathavenfostermom1]

@bew373, your so right, leather is crule to if not only to cows but also to people

because most leather comes fom India.

The farmers are told yhat the cows will live out their lives on farms.

The cows are killed by having their throats hacked with dull blades.

[VivaLasVegans]

@bew373 The important thing is to do the best you can do personally to not contribute to animal cruelty... nobody can totally avoid using animal products as they are everywhere. But everybody can get educated on how animals are treated and try to avoid financing animal torture by not buying fur etc.

[cookiemish]

@VivaLasVegans well said.

[moneyrac]

celeberties wear the designer clothes that the average person cannot afford everyone is beautiful in their own skin if you are so curious jessss2008 go to peta .com and become aware it will change your life as well.promise so no peta needs more attention.

[y0URDREAMGiRL2009]

Woww... i cant believe these people have the heart to do this to a helpless animal. this is cruel and they should burn in hell. this made me cry no lie.

[john5927572]

@y0URDREAMGiRL2009

Don't eat meat?

[TimmyGal]

I've never worn fur, but it's not because of PETA. It's because I spent my entire life believing that fur looks better on the animals. I've never worn fur and I never will. But I will always eat meat. :)

[jazzycat15]

@TimmyGal PETA is not the reason I don't wear fur either it's because I care about animals and know they are sentient beings that deserve to live out their lives to the fullest and don't deserve to be brutally slaughtered. Those are the same reasons that I don't eat meat. So while you enjoy you're cruelly murdered cow flesh on a bun, I will enjoy all the delicious and nutritious vegetarian food. :)

[TPOTOishere]

I feel so awful for these animals! They look so frightened! .. Sometimes I pray at night that what other countries think about reincarnation isn't true! I would hate to come back as an animal! They have no rights and are slaughtered horrible deaths. What kind of life is that ?!

[shababsta]

shes better than eva angelina :D

[TubeKnow]

damm, seeing the slicing of the bunnies hurt deep. shocking!

[happytenzin]

Eva is as beautiful as everyone, every living beings have the desire to be loved and have compassion. So, we could truly change the world by spreading awareness from ignorance.

[xheartsliesfriendsx]

This made me cry.

[martialag]

vegetarian are very often hypocritical... she said that peta sent her flowers... aren't flowers living things too... don't they need water, air, and food to survive. Don't they bloom? blooming is a sign of life to me.. i don't know what anyone else thinks, but that's what i believe.

[paulybarr]

@martialag That's a bit naive of you ,dear- the point is that animals have nervous systems and therefore feel pain.

[gerincetos]

..people all over the world are paying for artificial breasts, bottoms...I think we can wear artificial fur too, so stop torture and kill animals for fur...

[adinadinaa]

From this day on PETA changed my life.

[TPOTOishere]

@adinadinaa I too had my life changed by Peta and Mercy For Animals. I can honestly say I am scarred for life but I rather live my life knowing the truth.

[PunkyKelly]

the part with the bunnies made me cry. how can people do that? i dont get it!

[cec1221]

this is heartbreaking!!!! =( those poor beautiful innocent creatures!! =( Im so glad PETA exists, someone needs to be the voice of these animals. Im strongly against fur, and I think its great of eva mendes to show her support for peta.

[karina21051]

1:49 is horrible.. b/c ii have bunnies

[Nagyitas]

bu kadını pek beğenmezdim ama burada çok güzel görünüyor, I love you PETA

[drunkenlullibies453]

wearing fur is not only cruel to animals, but it looks soooo tacky i mean seriously a huge, puffy thing on your coat or on the hood of your jacket. Fur wearers look RIDICULOUS, OBNOXIOUS, and HELLA STUPID!!

[avengemm9dog]

Would i let my dog or cat skinned? well how much are you paying me? And how poor or wealthy am I in this situation? If i'm poor enough and you paying me enough money i'll do the skining myself. And so would you to put food on the table. Wear fur, save jobs, for HUMANS.

[BAMBILOVEGIRL]

Do you know how the people are treated? There are so many chemicals when day make furs. And the workers don´t have protectiv clothes! And that is cancer-causing. There are so many people dying because of this "jobs"!

So stop talking shit!

[froggymicwop]

@BAMBILOVEGIRL isn't that called karma?

[twistedwikked]

then you have no heart, there a lot of other possible jobs, i would NEVER skin or kill an animal, honestly I prefer starvation, you may think I'm crazy but I would die just to think that I made them suffer

[contemporary26]

@avengemm9dog EASY MONEY WITH INNOCENT PAIN... I AM NOT AMAZED WHY SERIAL KILLERS ARE AROUND, PEOPLE HUMANS LIKE YOU MAKE THIS WORLD WHAT IS IT A HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST... THINK OF THAT PAIN CAN BE MADE TO YOU FOR ONE SECOND, CUZ I KNOW EVEN TO YOUR MOTHER YOU WOULDNT CARE

[roscophish7]

hellohollyberry I just want you to know that you recieve very little nutritional value from meat and that if you eat the right foods and take the right supplements you can keep from becoming anemic. It is all about balance and the other foods you were eating might have cut down on your iron absorbtion. I have been a vegan for about 2 1/2 years and I am still finding out things i can do to better improve my health, its about dedication and studying up on something that is important to you!

[roscophish7]

I can't understand the cruelty and stupidity behind the people who work in these industrys!

[Italiabeefy]

Too bad low life J Lo and Beyonce continue to ignore the horrible treatment of animals for their fur that they continue to use in their clothing lines!

Bravo to Eva for caring!

[hellohollyberry]

I have a comment about not eating meat. I was vegetarian for 2 1/2 yrs because I don't want to support the inhumane conditions for animals. I became very sick with anemia and lost a lot of weight. Supplements and eating food rich in iron and nutrients were not enough. I think many people can benefit from being vegetarian/vegan, but others may not. Everyone's body chemistry is different. I would do a lot of research and talk to a doctor/nutritionist before deciding to change your eating habits.

[Evn011]

You were probably under eating and/or eating too much fat. To be a healthy vegetarian/vegan, you should be getting most of your calories from fruit...yes, that means you have to eat a lot of it. You don't need special supplements or fortified foods, just tons of fruit and vegetables. Read The 80/10/10 Diet by Dr. Graham.

[abcdefghij405]

shes so smart

[alanjdm]

Eva Mendes, ERES MUY BONITA

[theletdown]

I am not a vegan, but I do support Peta in all that they do, I did how ever manage to lessen the amount of meat I eat per month and I am currently at one day per month. Please if all you do is eat less meat that's already a plus.

[kjogar]

I'm conservative. However I totally agree. Animals should not be treated this way. Peta keep doing your work and never give up. How can people not have feelings for these animals who are mistreated? At the very least treat the animals humanly while they are alive. How cruel to do what they do without making sure they were at least killed humanely first.

[mscreecher]

Your AWSOME!!!

[Jessss2008]

I wish peta would give flowers to people who have NEVER worn fur before. They favor celebs...don't they get enough attention?

[southhampton91]

@Jessss2008 ,

It's not that PETA personally favors celebs. But America is a celeb oriented culture. Why do you think people are desperately trying to get media attention, even for the wrong things.There are people who follow celebs closely. So they might, atleast to some extent model the behavior of the celebs they like.

If Oprah Winfrey shed light on an issue vs. the guy next door, who do you think would make a bigger impact on a target audience? It's simple psychology...really.

[sydneyseahorse]

@Jessss2008

They favor celebrities because they inspire people to do what PETA wants them to. If a celebrity does it, they think ithat they should do it.

[hobberpoo]

she's adorable.

[rucola74]

Compliments Eva Mendes!!! Thanks!!!!

FUR = BARBARIANS

[jennystgirls]

world is a cruel place ...

[RaeRacoon]

[ilovetorunandsurf]

[cityzenkane108]

[paisa3m]

Such a role model ! I support PETA and everything it does. Fur only belongs on the animals backs, not ours. FUCK FUR !

[VioreI]

Yes cool, save the whale, stop wearing fur, but most important of all, stop eating meat. The best thing you can do to save the planet and your soul.
