Subject: re: petition 98P-0151/CP1 -to prohibit the slaughter of downed
animals

It has come to my attention that there is a petition, 98P-0151/CP1, being
reviewed by the FDA which requests the prohibition of slaughtering downed
animals. I strongly urge you to favorably view this petition.

Downed animals endure unacceptable suffering as they are dragged to the
slaughter house, some of which can not even stand.  In addition, if downed
animals also includes sick ones, then the scares of mad-cow disease and
foot and mouth disease also make it urgent to stop killing downed animals.
So there are many reason to prohibit this slaughter.

Thank you for your consideration.
