Is it permissible to work in a factory that produces sweets—chocolate—in the shape of birds?

If the chocolate is specifically made for children, then there is no harm in working at the factory, because the majority of scholars have made an exception for children's toys from the prohibition of making statues. However, if the chocolate is not specifically made for children, but for the general public, then it is not permissible to work in the factory, because the general rule is the impermissibility of making statues of animate beings. It is forbidden to depict a complete animal if it is enduring, and also if it is not enduring, according to the more sound opinion, and it is forbidden to look at it. An exception to this is pictures of dolls for girls, so it is permissible to commission their manufacture, sell them, and buy them for them, to train them in carrying children.
