Washington
(ANI):
Actress
Eva
Mendes
has
become
the
latest
celebrity
to
sign
up
to
PETA"s
anti-fur
campaign.
The
actress
is
fronting
the
animal
rights
campaign
group's
latest
expose
of
the
fur
industry.
PETA"s
new
campaign
includes
an
investigation
into
fur
farms
and
markets
in
China.
"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," Contactmusic
quoted
her
as
saying.
"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,"
she
added.
The
35-year-old
star
said
she
once
wore
fur,
but
having
a
dog
has
changed
her
ways
forever.
She
said:
"I
have
a
dog
named
Hugo
and
it
literally
changed
my
life.
Every
choice
that
I
make,
I
always
think
about
my
little
Hugo
and
think,
'God,
would
I
eat
him?
Would
I
cage
him
up,
and
you
know,
would
I
skin
him?' No,
of
course
not."
