Dying for a chocolate bar?
Humanity sucks at SO many things, as much as it excels at others. Surely it would be easy to strike this ‘effort’ off the ’sucky’ list? All this, for chocolate bars? No thanks.

Mars is a multi-million-pound company whose products – including Mars bars, M&M’s, Snickers, Twix and Galaxy – can be found on the shelves of almost every supermarket and high street shop around the world. But PETA US found Mars has been funding the following gruesome experiments inside animal laboratories:
Mice were fed chocolate ingredients and then forced to swim through a mixture of diluted paint, where they had to find a hidden platform or drown. The terrified survivors were killed anyway.
Rabbits were forced to eat a high-cholesterol diet before they were mutilated so that their blood vessels could be analysed.
Rats were fed through plastic tubes in their throats before they were cut open and had their arteries clamped. Then they were killed.
