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.

If you don't believe me, watch this video... http://www.marscandykills.com/

I hate to say this, but this could be something that Hershey company made to make people buy more Hershey instead of Mars.

I HATE X INFINITY ANIMAL CRUELTY. I ACTUALLY HAVE A PICTURE OF MICHEAL VICK BEING CHASED BY A PITBULL!

Collin, if he didn't abuse the pittbulls they wouldn't chase him!

PUNISH THE DEED, NOT THE BREED!

They would never do anything bad if they weren't bred for fighting! And he hung, dround, beat, and shot pittbulls. I can say nothing good about that horrible man!


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

The picture is like a pic of Vick running during a football game and a picture of a pitbull is pasted on to it.


message 10: by [deleted user] (new)

Its sad how such a talent like the one Vick had has to go to waste.


♥M♥A♥R♥I♥E♥ (mariehastings) | 272 comments I couldn't watch that video… I stopped before halfway.

michael vick?
um....


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

He used to be a great football player for the Atlanta Flacons. I'm from around Atlanta, so he used to be my favorite player, cause I was die hard for the falcons. But then they found out he would dogfight and kill the dogs in horrible ways. I hate his guts. Oh, and they also found out he was on marijuana.


♥M♥A♥R♥I♥E♥ (mariehastings) | 272 comments What is marijuana? I'm not stupid, I just hate stuff like that. I can't even sit through science or health without having to get up and leave.


message 15: by [deleted user] (new)

its pot, weed. Its a drug.

I can't stand people like him. I also can't stand people like Mars... >:(


And Marie, don't worry! I couldn't finish the video either. And I hate science class! In the high school my friend is going to, they have to disect cats! I couldn't believe it when she told me. I' wouldn't do it. My parents would be mad if they found out my science teacher made me disect a cat!


message 17: by [deleted user] (new)

Dissecting cats? Are these people completely heartless?! I couldn't even get half way through the video. Well, actually I did, but my eyes were closed. I don't think that counts!


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

The cats are already dead, we did something like that before. In science, we dissected a frog.


message 19: by [deleted user] (new)

Frogs are what everybody dissects. I have dissected 3 large grasshoppers, 2 worms, 2 frogs, 2 squids, 1 crab, and 1 baby shark. I have never even heard of dissecting a cat. Until now, that is.

They kill the cats especially for the project. They'd be alive if it weren't for the stupid project.

Ya, I've heard of frogs, worms, grasshoppers, crabs, and squids. I've never heard of sharks though. And since sharks are my favorite animal and my dream job is a marine biologist specificly to study sharks...I would never dissect a shark. I'm 12 and for my birthday I asked my parents if they could take my to the Florida Aquarium for my birthday so I could swim in the shark tank. My family said I was crazy but they're going to let me do it.

I get really mad when I hear about schools making kids dissect animals.


message 21: by [deleted user] (new)

This wasn't a a school that made me dissect a shark. It was Marine Biology camp a few years ago. The instructor dissected it, we watched. They found something in the stomach of one of the baby sharks. We only had 2. The girl who wanted to be a marine biologist almost passed out.

SAM (ilovemydogs578) | 673 comments Mod
That's different. Was it a medical condition or something? You said they found something in the stomach. Was it a tumor or something?


message 23: by [deleted user] (new)

No, it was a squid I think. The shark didn't digest it completely! It was funny! They said sometimes when they dissect the full grown sharks they find like boots and stuff in the sharks stomach!

SAM (ilovemydogs578) | 673 comments Mod
That's funny! What state do you live in? Where was the MB camp at?


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

I live in PA. The camp was at a college over here.

SAM (ilovemydogs578) | 673 comments Mod
Oh, theres alot of people on here that live in PA!


message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

As most people know, I'm a Georgian. I am very southern, so southern in fact I have never been farther North than Virginia. Yes, this is sad, I know.


message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

I live in PA, and the farthest south I've ever been is Delaware. I think I'm worse then you!

I live in FL and up until a few weeks ago, I had never been more north than North Carolina! 2 states up! And I had never flown in a plane, rode on a subway, or gone on a train before New York, either.


message 31: by [deleted user] (new)

I have been on a couple trains, but no subway or planes. :-(


message 32: by SAM (new)

SAM (ilovemydogs578) | 673 comments Mod
I loved the plane, but the people on the subway and trains creeped me out! They were wierd goth people, or stuff like that. The trains I took were in Jersey and they were not the nicest. The subway was so fun, though! Even if I had to stand by a bunch of wierdos! Alot of my friends were up in NY too and we all rode the subway together.


message 33: by [deleted user] (new)

Ive ridden a plane and a subway type thing before and it was not that bad, but some people were drug addicts and we really weird.


message 34: by [deleted user] (new)

That must stink! Once when I was little we were in a bad car crash, and we had to go to an emergency room to make sure we were ok. When we got there, there was a dude all bloodied up, and some drug addict trying to commit suicide and was like trying to fight the people who were trying to pump his stomach. I was like 5 but I had no idea what was going on. It was Halloween night. But my mom was SOOO scared cause the drug dude was in the next room and the rooms were seperated by a CURTAIN and there were police officers with their guns out and stuff. I probably would've been scared if I knew what was going on. Sorry for the randomness, but I just sorta wanted to say that! :-) ))

SAM (ilovemydogs578) | 673 comments Mod
I would have been so scared! Even if I was 5 because I would have seen the guns. I would already be terrified because of the car crash! I've never been in a car crash before. A side-swipe but never a crash. And the only reason we got sidde-swiped was because these drunk idiots were speeding. And they had like 50 people in a car that holds 5!


message 36: by [deleted user] (new)

I guess I was SO tired I didn't notice anything. But it was cause this one guy was changing his radio station and he didn't see that we had slowed down to stop. He ran into the back of our car and his head went through the windshield. We ran into a tree and my moms seat fell back on my chair!


message 37: by [deleted user] (new)

thats really harsh


message 38: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah. They say you shouldn't keep your wheels turned before you turn, but it was lucky my mom had them. If we hadn't had them turned, we probably would've went over a ledge that we were facing. That would have been so much worse then running into a tree!

Oh my gosh! That's horrible! And ya, it's a good thing you turned!
