Animal Rights

[puppyluvr9493]

I get so mad, when I here on the news about Animal Cruelty. Now, Im not BIG on the law, but arent there animal rights. I believe so, but i dont know.

I agree. Sometimes humans think that they are the ONLY ones living on this planet!

I know. I am a HUGE animal lover, and I just cant STAND for animal cruelty. But I also think I'm a hypocrit, because I eat meat. I dont know, does this make me a hypocrit?

I agree. I think there should be harsher penalties for these people. I can't stand hearing stories about these teenagers who mutilate animals...and harm them and just leave them for dead. If they have no regard for animals...then they have no regard for human life either. Which I think makes them a danger to society!

It does make them a threat to society, because most serial killers started out by killing animals. God knows that when these people are goin to go after people. The police should crack down harder on people who commit Animal Cruelty.

I just received this email from PETA about Mars candybars:

PETA has uncovered gruesome evidence that candy giant Mars has been paying experimenters to conduct deadly tests on mice, rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. We're launching a worldwide boycott of Snickers, M&M's, Twix, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, Starburst, Dove, Skittles, and other Mars-made products until the company has a heart and stops hurting animals.

Right now, Mars is funding a study at the University of California, San Francisco, in which experimenters force-feed rats by shoving plastic tubes down their throats. The animals are then killed and cut open.


Mars has also paid experimenters to do the following:

* Force mice to swim in a pool of water and paint and find a hidden platform to avoid drowning—only to be killed later
* Surgically attach plastic tubes to guinea pigs' carotid arteries and inject cocoa ingredients into their jugular veins to induce dramatic decreases in blood pressure
* Force rabbits to eat high-cholesterol diets with varying amounts of cocoa and then cut out and examine primary blood vessels to their hearts

Not one of these tests is required by law for candy. Mars' chief competitor, Hershey's, has already signed PETA's statement of assurance pledging never to conduct or fund tests on animals.

We need your help to end Mars' cruel experiments! Visit our new MarsCandyKills.com campaign Web site to find out what you can do to help.
