Every so often, there's a pro-animal story so darn cute that the webmasters of ICanHasCheezburger.com get jealous.
According to this piece in the Wrexham Leader, 11-year-old Gaby Trotter seems to have established more as an animal advocate than many adult activists can boast. She managed to research Mars' history of animal testing, set up her own Web site on the subject, and speak to school administrators about banning Mars products in her school.
I think at that age, I was busy playing video games, impressing friends and family members by eating frosted cupcakes in a single bite, and arguing with my sister. Way to raise the standard, Gaby!
I never really favored Mars, anyway, but how would she know that they really do testing that terribly? Possibly the sites she went to for research were hoaxed. I mean, alot of people pick sides and don't know the full story. Incase it really is real, I'll stop buying Mars, but still, think about it. I don't want to risk it, though. So no Mars for me.
