Bojkotta Mars choklad!


Snott hos Malin Morot:



PETA has uncovered gruesome evidence that candy giant Mars has been paying experimenters to conduct deadly tests on mice, rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. We're launching a worldwide boycott of Snickers, M&M's, Twix, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, Starburst, Dove, Skittles, and other Mars-made products until the company has a heart and stops hurting animals. Right now, Mars is funding a study at the University of California, San Francisco, in which experimenters force-feed rats by shoving plastic tubes down their throats. The animals are then killed and cut open.







Mars has also paid experimenters to do the following:

* Force mice to swim in a pool of water and paint and find a hidden platform to avoid drowning-only to be killed later.

* Surgically attach plastic tubes to guinea pigs' carotid arteries and inject cocoa ingredients into their jugular veins to induce dramatic decreases in blood pressure.

* Force rabbits to eat high-cholesterol diets with varying amounts of cocoa and then cut out and examine primary blood vessels to their hearts.

Not one of these tests is required by law for candy. Mars' chief competitor, Hershey's, has already signed PETA's statement of assurance pledging never to conduct or fund tests on animals.

Hoppas att Marabou har bättre sätt att prova sin choklad! Absolut får du knycka inläget - sprid vidare!

Alltså... Det finns väl egentligen ingen choklad som är okej, förutom den Fair Trade-märkta? Barnarbetare i Elfenbenskusten, liksom... :-/ Som det talas tyst om! Man kan ju inte klara sig utan sin choklad, då får man väl offra några ungar från andra sidan jordklotet, vem bryr sig...
