TELL MARS TO STOP TESTING ON ANIMALS!

Target:
Talk Mars into stop testing on animals for candy. Just like Hersheys!
Sponsored by: 

Mars recently funded a deadly experiment on rats to determine the effects of chocolate ingredients on their blood vessels. Experimenters force-fed the rats by shoving plastic tubes down their throats and then cut open the rats' legs to expose an artery, which was clamped shut to block blood flow. After the experiment, the animals were killed. Mars has also funded cruel experiments in which mice were fed a candy ingredient and forced to swim in a pool of a water mixed with white paint. The mice had to find a hidden platform to avoid drowning, only to be killed and dissected later on. In yet another experiment supported by Mars, rats were fed cocoa and anesthetized with carbon dioxide so that their blood could be collected by injecting a needle directly into their hearts, which can lead to internal bleeding and other deadly complications. Please go to http://www.marscandykills.com/ to find out more about Mars. And don't forget to sign the petition!

Ne criez pas sur eux, simplement parler avec fermeté et douceur. Vous ne voudriez pas faire quelque chose de 4 à quelqu'un si elles étaient à crier après vous, seriez-vous?

Why in the world does a chocolate bar corporation need to do any animal testing? Cocoa is from a plant and the sweet stuff is sugar, so why would rodents or anything have to be tortured and dissected for me to eat it. I will never eat your products again ( which were my favorites by the way) and neither will anyone i know, if i can help it. Im sorry you people feel the need to kill for the almighty dollar. I can do without if thats the case. After all, there is tons of chocolate out there!

Don't yell at them, just talk firmly and sweetly. You wouldn't do something 4 someone if they were yelling at you, would you?

It is not necessary to test on animals or even treat them the way your company does. These heinous crimes are indescribable and extremely difficult to watch, because these poor animals only know pain and suffering, and nothing else. Many companies have stopped testing on animals so why can't your company? One last thing I would like to ask is that your company is mostly based on food products, so knowing that, what kind of chemicals are you adding to your products that you would need to torture these animals so extensivly and if these chemicals are so harmful why are you adding them to products people eat if it can make them sick?

Whatever you're doing, Mars company, keep doing it! Your candy is great, I love it, and M&M's are my favorite of all time! Don't cave in to pressure from a few hundred people - there are over 300 million people in the United States, so why give in to a few?
