- Eva Mendes

About this Quote

In this quote, Eva Mendes is highlighting the harsh reality behind the fashion business's usage of fur. She is stressing that even if a fur item might seem little or insignificant, it still represents the suffering and ruthlessness caused upon animals. The reference of a "little trim" on a fur glove works as a metaphor for the larger issue at hand - the exploitation and mistreatment of animals for the sake of fashion. Mendes is advising individuals to think beyond the shallow appeal of fur and consider the ethical ramifications of their purchases. She reminds us that every fur item has a story, and it typically involves the brutal clubbing of innocent animals.
