From: Christine and Dave Matusek [idhealth@megsinet.net] Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2001 11:01 PM To: FDADockets@oc.fda.gov Subject: Downed Animal Protection Act Dear Sir/Madam: I am writing to request that you GRANT PETITION 98-P -0151/CP1, the Downed Animal Protection Act. This legislation would prohibit any stockyard or market buyer to buy, sell , transfer or drag any animal that is unable to stand on his or her own. This legislation further requires that all downed animals be human euthanized. This is America, the best country in the world and this disgraceful behavior to a living feeling creature should not be tolerated. Stop the institutionalized concentration camps we call Factory Farms. Thank you for your time . Sincerely, Dave and Christine Matusek 6349 N. Oriole Chicago, IL 60631
