Office of the Commissioner
Food and Drug Administration

Rockville, MD 20857

Dear Commissioner:

I am writing to urge you to ban the use of human antibiotics on livestock.

There is a terrible risk that their overuse on animals will destroy their effectiveness in treating human disease.

I urge you to preserve the effectiveness of human antibiotics by banning their use to make livestock grow faster.

Sincerely,

Louis R. Phillips
