Who the hell would want to be such a product. They don't even need to protest it because it won't sell anyways.

The ASPCA is worried about products that encourage the abuse of animals, yet they've shown cruelty to animals themselves by taking in animals from the streets and killing them if nobody takes them home.

I wonder if these neurotics take offense to the fact that in every single box of animal crackers, many of the crackers are broken up so you eat the severed pieces of their bodies. Or maybe they hate any type of candy or food in which the eater symbolically eats the flesh of another animal like gummi bears or goldfish crackers.

lol that's kind of funny. As long as it's just candy and not real life. For example in UO I killed tons of animals but it's not something I'd do in real life.
But the concept of candy shapped like road kill animals is kind of weird, whoever thought of that is prety wacked lol.

You'd better be careful. I really think you are desensitizing yourself to violence against imaginary creatures. Just wait until you have kids, and your child says, "Dad, meet Harvey, my imaginary bunny." I shudder to think what might happen.
