  I have to remind everyone, since chocolate season (aka Easter) is just around the corner not to buy any products from the Mars/Effem Candy Company. That includes: Mars bars, Twix, Snickers, M&M’s and Skittles Candy.
  
  The reason: They test their candies on animals (including rabbits). And I don’t mean they feed the animals bonbons and ask for suggestions. For more info see, MarsCandyKills.com. You can send the company an e-mail telling them you are going to buy lots of Easter chocolate, but from Hershey and Cadbury!!!!

  This is so bizarre … I work for a major food company and I don’t see a single reason why they would need to conduct any tests on animals! Disgusting. Glad I don’t work for M&M Mars.

  That’s the worst part about it: It just doesn’t make sense!

  Well exactly. Bottom line, if their competitors don’t have to, and they have their products approved by the FDA then there is no point.
