Dear Sir or Madam:

I know you have knowledge of the totally Unacceptable
use of downers in human food, not only
because it is a sin and a crime to abandon and/or drag
a nonhuman animal into the
slaughterhouse in any sadistic way, but the human
animals eating the downers will probably run
high risk of bacterial contamination which will turn
our pots into focuses of infections to the
point of fatal ones!!!

For the sake of the human AND nonhuman animals, I urge
you to please put a stop to the
marketing of downers.  This by no means will harm the
economy since downers are a small
percentage.  Experts feel that removing the market for
downers will even provide an incentive to
industry to prevent downers in the first place!

Once you prohibit the marketing of  these sick and
injured nonhuman animals, I hope that meat
eats will finally be able to eat their dinners in
safety.
