From: Cats2Save@aol.com Sent: Friday, January 12, 2001 9:49 PM To: FDADockets@oc.fda.gov Subject: Re: Docket Number 98P-0151/CP1 Dear Sir/Madam: I am writing to request that you GRANT PETITION 98P-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. The legislation further requires that all "downed" animals be humanely euthanized. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Michelle Marcus New Jersey
