Serious Issues

I'm so glad we have people on top of this: (Chicago Tribune - reg. required.)
State animal rights activists are sick to their stomachs over a new candy shaped like critters run over by cars, complete with tire treads.

The fruity-flavored, partly flattened snakes, chickens and squirrels depicted in Trolli Road Kill Gummi Candy foster cruelty toward animals, according to the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. . . .

The society is considering efforts such as petition drives, boycotts and letter-writing campaigns to get the candy pulled from the market, Stanton said.

Why should genocide, rape and war get all the attention?
