From: GEORGNBAY@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2001 12:09 PM To: EXECSEC Subject: unregulated antibiotic use in animals Commissioner Jane Henney, There is an urgent need to regulate and reduce the large amounts of antibiotics currently given to animals - cattle pigs chickens etc. Human resistence to many forms of antibiotics is a direct reaction to the millions of pounds of various drugs given to our food sources. Over 70% of all antibiotics are used on the animals we eat. The increased cases of cancer are also believed by many to be caused by this overdosing of drugs in our food chain. Please set up an independent enquiry for the public's health. Thank you. Sincerely Susan Clark
