From: Heather Marshall [kali_the_blue_tongued_goddess@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, February 26, 2001 12:45 PM To: FDADockets@oc.fda.gov Subject: Docket # 98P-0151/CP1 To Whom It May Concern: A petition (Docket # 98P-0151/CP1) is currently before you to prohibit the slaughter of "downed" animals. These animals are too sick or injured to stand upon arriving to the stockyard or slaughterhouse. Because of this, they should not be slaughtered and used for food consumption. There is no humane way existing currently to move these animals. Most times they are dragged with chains, causing more undue suffering. Please approve Docket #98-P-0151/CP1 so these diseased animals will not be used for food and can be euthanized humanely. Thank you for your consideration, Heather Marshall 718 Wilbrown Circle Charlotte, NC 28217-2510 ===== "Non-violence leads to the highest ethics which is the goal of all evolution.
