Re: Docket No. 98P-0151/CP1

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am writing to request that you help end the horrific downed animal trade.  
Since downed animals comprise such a small percentage of animals slaughtered, 
and prohibiting their marketing will cause no undue economic hardship, I 
implore you to help us eradicate their horrendous and unnecessary pain and 
suffering.

It is impossible to move downed animals humanely. They are pushed and shoved 
with tractors or dragged with chains. These inhumane processes cause injuries 
ranging from bruises and abrasions, to broken bones and torn ligaments.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Michelle Marcus
New Jersey, USA
