TRENTON, New Jersey (AP) -- Animal rights activists are disgusted by a new candy from Kraft Foods Inc. that's shaped like critters run over by cars -- complete with tire treads.
The fruity-flavored Trolli Road Kill Gummi Candy -- in shapes of partly flattened snakes, chickens and squirrels -- fosters cruelty toward animals, according to the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
"It sends the wrong message to children, that it's OK to harm animals. And that's the wrong message, especially from a so-called wholesome corporation like Kraft," said society spokesman Matthew Stanton.
The society is considering pe ion drives, boycotts and letter-writing campaigns to get the candy pulled from the market, Stanton said.
After receiving a complaint from the NJSPCA Wednesday, Kraft officials pulled an animated advertisement from Trolli's Web site that featured car headlights and animals.
No other decisions on changes have been made, said Kraft spokesman Larry Baumann.
"If you look across the Gummi category we certainly have many products that are offbeat, and that's what we were doing in this case," Baumann said. "We didn't mean to offend anyone."

And yet they've never raised a stink about the broken-off heads & appendages that you inevitably get in a box of animal crackers?
No, because the animal rights activists don't have a problem with packaging predators and prey in the same box.

They have heads? I never looked that closely before.
What does New Orleans Hornets have with this?

I can sense PETA closing in for the kill.
Gummi candy offends me far more than the thought of roadkill.
Well, they've caved. Kraft is pulling it off the market.
Kraft you bunch of pansies!
Why not put fake fur and scales on them too so it will really be offensive and gross.
Go for the kill!
