ANDERSON SLAMS MARS OVER ANIMAL CRUELTY

NEW YORK (Reuters) — Animal rights activist and onetime "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson slammed Mars Inc on Friday, saying she was shocked at claims the company she once helped promote funds experiments that kill animals.

In a letter to Mars President Paul Michaels, Anderson said she would urge support for a boycott, led by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), of M&Ms, Twix candy bars and other snack foods made by the company.
