Petition 98P-0151/CP1 to prohibit the slaughter of downed animals



I urge you to grant Petition 98P-0151/CPI to prohibit the slaughter of downed animals entirely, for the good of both animals and humans.

America stands before the world as an example of a civilized nation. The slaughter of downed animals is totally barbaric and without compassion. It is an example of how inhumane a people can be for the sake of making another dollar.

Please utilize the powers of your Stewardship of this land by speaking out for these voiceless sentient beings that share this world with us. Remove this shame from the American people...grant Petition 98P-0151/CPI.

Thank you.
