Before you open that bag of M&M's - Read this shocking news!

A.Solomon | 03.09.2006 20:53 | Animal Liberation | World

Who would ever think that a candy company would be involved in animal torture. Did you know Pedigree, (part of Mars, Inc) is responsible for killing the very animals they manufacture food for? And how about the very computer and software you're using? Read on...........

Mars Inc, who are also known as Masterfoods in Europe, are a manufacturer of pet foods, such as Bounce, Cesar, Chappie, Frolic, James Wellbeloved, Katkins, Kitekat, Pal, Pedigree Chum, Royal Canin, Sheba, Techni-cal (US & Canada), Whiskas. Pedigree (part of Mars Inc) also manufactures Thomas rabbit food and Trill bird food.

Mars Inc is also responsible for killing many animals, mainly cats and dogs at their research centre in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. Non-human animals are forced to spend their entire lives as experimental tools, enduring years of research so that Mars Inc can produce pet foods and make millions in profits from sales to consumers who live with and have loving relationships with animals not unlike those behind the walls of the Mars research laboratories.

Mars Inc's best selling confectionary products include: M&M's, Snickers, and the Mars bar. Its other products include 3 Musketeers, Dove, Milky Way, Skittles, Twix, and Starburst sweets. They are also the makers of Combos and Kudos snacks and Uncle Ben's rice.

Don’t forget, Mars Inc is not only responsible for killing animals at their own experimental research centre, but are also helping to organise greater scientific co-operation between the US and UK research establishments, which undoubtedly includes animal based research. Not only that: Mars Inc are also helping to fund research projects at Oxford University. Whatever way you look at it, Mars Inc (Masterfoods) have blood on their hands.

Mars Inc. total contributions to Oxford: £235,002.74 (447,846.06 USD)

Video Footage


Here you can gain an insight into the shocking suffering due to take place inside the primate lab should it go ahead. The footage was taken inside existing animal labs at Cambridge University by the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV) and should act as a call to action for all who are concerned about animals.
