wow, what a bunch of jerks.
"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."
So this proves what?
i don't understand...if the ingredient is "questionable" enough that they feel they have to do TESTS that they aren't required to do to "test" it... why they hell do they think it is a good idea to put it in food for people?
Exaaaaaaaaactttttly! Yuck.
Thanks for the link, Dave. I signed and sent it to my family (who is probably tired of my animal petition emails, hee hee). Those tests are disgusting and it's probably good that I now have a good reason to not eat M&M's. ;D
WTF? It sounds like the next variety of M&M is going to contain mice! well thanks for posting this, knowing this will keep me from eating any of this crap
Thanks, Dave - I signed it. I had no idea candy makers did this, even though I consider myself pretty well informed about such things. Just when you think you've heard it all....I guess nothing should surprise me after the POM Wonderful debacle.
Signed it!

Yes! I actually mentionned that in my letter. Blech.
Dave: thanks for bringing this to my attention. It's just awful.

This is exactly what I thought when I read it. A pool of paint?
Poor little mice. :'(
Oh, I'm just waiting for Brain to take over the world. (Animaniacs fans know what I'm talking about.)
ShaolinBunny, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

I think so, Feelinsoreal, but if they called them "sad meals" no one would buy them. *NARF!*
Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. I'm sad that I won't be eating Snickers bars again anytime soon, but much more sad for the mice and rats being tested on.

So true.
And M&M's were one of the few chocolate candies I could tolerate anymore. :'(

I signed that petition from Peta.
I can't believe they made mice swim in a pool of paint..... It's sickening. :'(

"I think so, but me and Pippi Longstocking? I mean, what would the children look like?"
Signed...As the companion of 13 mice and 7 hamsters I had to defend my rodent brothers and sisters. :)

LOL! I agree.
Don't animals handle chocolate differently than humans, anyway? What exactly do these tests achieve? Jeez. Signed and sent to friends and family.
I sent it to my sister that's a peanut butter M&M's fanatic and she was like I read the first few lines and then deleted it. I asked her if it changed her mind at all about eating them and the answer I got was NO!
It's so depressing how little people care about who makes the food/products they purchase, and what other practices they employ. Then people get sick, or something really really outrageous happens that they can't ignore, and all of a sudden, it's "why didn't anyone tell me about this?"
Um, yeah...
