In recent weeks, the United Kingdom candy manufacturer, Cadbury, has rejected offers of buyout from United States chocolate giant Hershey. Report shows that Hershey has been in talks with Nestle in hopes of the two companies being able to work together and make yet another offer to Cadbury.

Meanwhile, Kraft has put an offer on the table to buyout Cadbury at 77 pence less than the shares are currently worth. Cadbury has until January 5, 2010 to reject their offer, and until January 18, 2010, to "file a response arguing against a takeover".

I need help understanding.....

Cadbury has already turned down bids. They rejected the offers, and are not interested in selling. Why, then, must they file "a response arguing against a takeover"? Does Cadbury stocks not belong to Cadbury and Cadbury stockholders? And what's with Wall Street trying to bully folks out of their chocolate rights? Oooooo..... I'd be one hot tamale...
