Tell Chocolate-Maker Mars Inc. to Drop Deadly Animal Tests! Send to a Friend | Donate Now | Join Our Activist Network Dear Margaret, Before stocking up on candy this Halloween, you should know that chocolate-maker Mars Inc.—creator of M & M's, Snickers, and other candies—continues to fund deadly animal tests, despite the facts that the tests are not required by law and that more reliable human studies could be used. Mars has funded cruel experiments in which mice were fed a candy ingredient and forced to swim in a pool of paint. The mice had to find a

platform to try to avoid drowning, only to be killed and dissected later. Mars also supported an experiment that involved cramming baby mice into small Plexiglas chambers and then submerging the chambers for nearly five hours in a chilled bath to determine whether a chocolate ingredient affected the mice's breathing rates. Mars' top competitor, Hershey's, has pledged to PETA that it will not fund or conduct experiments on animals. Please urge Mars to follow Hershey's lead and immediately end all support for animal tests! To learn more about the horrific experiments funded by Mars Inc., please Thank you for everything you do for animals!
