Mars Inc in ANIMAL TEST HORROR

[-Pickle-]

MARS MURDER, MAIM AND MUTILIATE
Animals screaming in silence as unaware consumers bite into a painful candybar
www.marscandykills.com

before you tuck into that chocolate bar or other candy, you should know that candymaker Mars funds deadly animal experiments even though not one of the tests is required by law, there are more reliable
human studies and Hershey’s, the company’s top competitor, has banned all tests on animals. Mars has funded cruel experiments in which mice
were fed a candy ingredient and forced to swim
in a pool of diluted paint. The mice had to find a hidden platform to avoid drowning, only to be killed and dissected later. In another experiment
funded by Mars, experimenters fed rats cocoa and then collected their blood by injecting a needle directly into their hearts—a procedure that can
lead to internal bleeding and other deadly complications. Mars also supported an experiment in which baby mice were crammed into small Plexiglas chambers and submerged for nearly five hours in chilled water just to see if a chocolate ingredient affected their breathing rate.

I moved this to The Dog House.

Secondly, I take with a large grain of salt anything put out by PETA.

These accusations don't even remotely pass the BS test. For the second time today.....


USE SOME JUDGMENT, PEOPLE!

I heard of this before.

I like m & m's but have not had any for months.

I'll try and not use any other of those products.

This SO doesn't pass the smell test! Where's the USDA and IACUC??

[moosmom]

I so agree with Smokey the Elder.
