Before you stock up on candy this Halloween, 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.

Please don’t buy any of these Mars products
until the company drops its deadly animal tests:
• M&M’S
• SNICKERS
• SKITTLES
• MILKY WAY
• STARBURST
• THREE MUSKETEERS
• TWIX
• DOVE
• M-AZING
• COCOAVIA
• ETHEL M
• LUCAS
• MUNCH

I believe in this to much to let it be unknown. I have stopped eating those candies and I will not eat them until they do something about it. We CAN make a change and i think we should start now.

to get this known...start a conversation in all of ur goodreads groups stating this. join other groups to get this known. Do whatever u can to stop this awful killing! Make a change.

Wow. That's crazy. (I mean the mars people, not you)

I didn't even know that they made all of those candies...and I haven't heard of the last 5. I don't even think that their chocolate(or hershey's chocolate) even actually tastes good. So that just leaves skittles and starburst. But I don't buy candy often anyways, so it's not a loss to me.

Morgan (cheshire) | 181 comments And why does it have to be the people who make starbursts and M&Ms?!?! What's in it for a bunch of people who make candy!?!?!?!??!

message 15: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (ophelia17) | 67 comments ugh that is soooo horrible. i have always felt like i was missing out because i have never had a MARS BAR (well ive had doves and stuff but the original mars bar). but now i am really glad.


message 16: by Josh (new)

Josh | 83 comments You may think that I am a low and slimy jerk but this is my honest opinion.
The people who do these tests obviously feel the need for them to be done. I would rather hundreds of mice die from tests than one human die because of an unsafe ingredient that Mars could have unknowingly put in their candy.
Also, It is true that people, even one, can make a difference. So I don't know why you are worrying about silly little mice who breed and multiply by the millions when there are still terrible human conditions and injustices in the world. Why dont you go help out and make a difference in your community for a start. I promise you that you will do the world a heck of a lot more good that way than by protesting candy.


message 17: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (ophelia17) | 67 comments wow. i never looked at it that way. low and slimy jerk? no way!
but i have to say that if we are going to kill hundreds of mice, that human has to be worth it. if they were a stupid evil mass murderer who stole the candy from some small suffering shop, i'd let him suffer.



message 18: by Josh (new)

Josh | 83 comments Lol! thats true


message 19: by Morgan (last edited Jul 09, 2008 08:21PM) (new)

Morgan (cheshire) | 181 comments Still, it's inhumane. *Shrugs* Then again, the world's standards need to be fixed before that's really a problem, come to think of it. And I don't think you're a low and slimy jerk for stating your opinion.


message 20: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
yeah... i would prefer that animals didn't get killed, but i think people are overreacting just a LITTLE. i mean, in my opinion, those are some pretty lucky mice; they get free chocolate XD okay, unless they die. then that's not good. but mice just like die randomly anyway. they don't have very long lifespans.
GAH! idk. i wrote a weird story once about giant rats doing tests on 'lab humans'; i was trying to make a statement, but it just came off as being weird. :p


message 21: by Robie (new)

Robie I'm a big fan of animal rights! Before the Europeans got to the states there weren't any mice. They were brought here and we gave them the conditions to breed. It's our responibility to protect them no matter how sick or disgusting we think they are. I don't eat any of those cadies but i'll certainly spread the word.


message 22: by [deleted user] (new)

i agree w/ Robie
