Keyanah (drizzleherb-peacelover) | 10 comments 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.

Kayli 500 | 124 comments um and I don't believe in mars candy kills. somebody in another group talked to her sister who is a food specialist or works for the mars company and said she hasn't heard of mars candy kills. It's last years news! So mars candy kills is a fake! I'm not sure what group that was in.

message 48: by [deleted user] (new)

:) me and my family do this thing where we can sell our candy to our parents for money, and because i have braces and because of the evil mars candy co. , i've decided to sell all my haloween candy and get some altoids or something. i luuuuuurve altoids. we used to call the candy selling thing the pumpkin king ritual, and there was this place where you could take pics wth the "pumkin king" so me and one of my trick or treating pals went and right before we went in the tent, the guy in a pumpkin king costume was taking his pumkin head off!!
now i know he's not real. :)
i think the people who are spreading the news about the mars candy kills thing are really awesome. WHOO HOO, people!
