PETA US recently discovered that Mars is directly responsible for a series of gruesome experiments on animals. These include feeding mice a confectionery ingredient and then forcing them to swim through a pool of water mixed with white paint to find a hidden platform. In another experiment, baby mice are crammed into "metabolic chambers" and submerged in cold water. These mice are then force-fed another ingredient, starved, killed and cut open for dissection!
We desperately need your help to save these animals from unimaginable suffering. Please send a message via our online petition to Mars telling the company exactly what you think of its continued use of cruel and deadly animal tests.
Mars is a huge multi-national company based in the US which produces well-known confectionery brands such as Bounty, Galaxy, M&M's, Snickers, Twix, Milky Way, Revels, Starburst and Skittles. Divisions of Mars in the UK produce well-known brands such as Uncle Ben's and Dolmio, while the company's companion animal food division produces the brands Cesar, KiteKat, Pal, Pedigree, Sheba, Whiskas, Aquarian and Trill.
Despite the fact that PETA US recently contacted Mars and urged it to put an end to its deadly animal experimentation programme, these tests continue! That's why we're asking you to add your name to the list of many other compassionate people and send a message to Mars' chief executive officer via our online petition.
PETA and its affiliates around the world have been incredibly successful in ending tests like these before. Other major food and beverage companies such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo recently announced an end to their animal testing programmes after PETA US contacted them. Please help us add Mars to the list of compassionate brands and make this another victory for the victims of vivisection.
Please take action today and help save countless animals who are suffering right now in Mars' animal testing programme.
