Get Mars Out of Our Schools

Written by PETA

Posted 05-23-2008

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!

Pity those animals. Skittles was my all time favorite candy. WAS. I'm honestly disgusted in their actions and I'm definitely spreading the word and probably stop my friends from buying MARS candy bars or any other candy that are related to animal cruelty.

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.
