Kraft Halts Production of Roadkill Candy
Of all the things the poeple at PETA have to worry about, this one has to have been the most ridiculous. A victory is a victory, though, so I guess it’s good for their morale. I can just see the next meeting “This week, we saved roadkill candy from the mouths of evil children!”
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) – Production of candy shaped like roadkill has come to a screeching halt. The decision, announced Friday by Kraft Foods Inc., was the result of an outcry by New Jersey animal rights activists who said the candy encouraged children to be cruel to animals.
I doubt that the candy would make children become more cruel to animals. I do, however, think the candy was in poor taste.
