Tell Mattel that animal suffering is not a game!

The Issue

Mattel launched a "toy" called BugRacer. This "toy" is a small car animated thanks to crickets moves... Kids just have to put crickets (alive) into a small plastic habitat to make the car move.

I decided to contact them and this is the answer: "As with all Mattel toys, Bug Racer complies with or exceeds all industry safety standards. Extra safety accommodations have been included to ensure the welfare of crickets when used with the toy. Customized cricket care features include a well-ventilated, removable habitat, integrated feeding station, and a non-invasive cricket transfer tool."

Please tell Mattel this is their responsibility to teach children to respect the nature and stop selling this toy!
