This is what I think about this. Animal testing is one of the wrongest and sickest things that the human race does, however it is true that some research (such as deadly diseases as Bullet Magnet mentioned) is necessary for our survival.

But haven't most tests for everything been done already? And what about pointless tests on cosmetics and food products that shouldn't need to exist? One is clear: We take animal tests for granted, when IMO, it should only be used as a last resort, and only for life-threatening diseases, and definately not when there are alternatives, and especially not on pointless products. Part of the reason we test on animals is due to our greed and because we like to consume (new products get made even though something like them exists already), and that, IMO, is incredibly unethical and cruel.

As for this Mars thing, I don't really trust PETA 100% because they're too agressive and give other campaigners a bad name. Some stuff they do is good, sure, but maybe sometimes I think they go too far foward into thier cause to be reasonable, if you see what I mean.

If I were everyone, I'd take this with a pinch of salt. It's not 'cause I support Mars - I don't even like or buy thier products, and any huge corperation is bad in a lot of ways. However these tests aren't reasonable - If they really take place, it's sick and sadistic, but they seem too unreal and pointless to believe. Maybe I'd believe what PETA were saying if more people were saying the same thing, too.

EDIT:
Another thing against animal testing that I thought of. Most other creatures are very different from humans anyway - How do scientists know that a product/chemical/drug will behave in the same way when applied to humans as it does when applied to animals? Doesn't this make some animal tests even more pointless and unreliable?
