From: ByVictoria@aol.com Sent: Friday, January 05, 2001 12:43 AM To: FDADockets@oc.fda.gov Subject: Docket Number 98P-0151/CP1 I understand that the Farm Sanctuary has petitioned the FDA to prohibit the slaughter of downed animals for human or animal consumption. Its petition is Docket Number 98P-0151/CP1. I am writing to express my support of this petition and to strongly request that you grant the petition. The sale of downed animals for human and animal consumption risks the health of the humans/animals consuming the meat and causes unnecessary pain and suffering for the downed animals, who would be put down much sooner if they could not be sold. Please grant the Farm Sanctuary's petition as soon as possible. Thank you. Victoria Johnson CA
