Subject: docket 98p-0151/cp1

I am writing to let you know of my concern for downed animals, animals
that are
                  too sick or injured even to stand.  Downed animals are
frequently dragged to
                  slaughter, or abandoned to die slowly from neglect at
stockyards across the
                  country.  I urge you to do everything possible to see
that stockyards stop
                  accepting and selling downed animals by co-sponsoring
bill (H.R. 443 or S.
                  515), the Downed Animal Protection Act.
Please help treat animals in a humane manner
Sincerely,
Brent McIntyre
