                                           10/17/00
                                      
    Dear U.S.F.D.A. Administrators,
        Downed animals intended for human consumption
    are just another unknown hazard that the public
    faces if you consider for one moment the dire
    possiblity of the infections that could set in
    with an animal that has been injured in transit
and     then passed along to an unwary consumer. By
disal-
    lowing the use of these animals a very small loss
    would be made to the industry and the public would
    also be protected from mad cow disease as well.
    Since 90% of downed animals could be prevented by
    granting of the above named petition it would also

    give incentive to treat our food animals more hum-
    manely.
                          Sincerely,
                          Dr. & Mrs. John F. Argyle
                            
    incentive
