Subject: Docket 98P-0151/CP1

                                        To whom it may concern,
I'm writing to urge the FDA to grant petition 98P-0151/CP1 to prohibit
the slaughter of downed animals.
Having downed animals in our food chain is no benefit to humans and once
an animal is
so sick there is no way to handle it humanely in the slaughter process.
Thank you for your consideration.
