From: Chris [chris@tilth.org] Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2001 5:58 PM To: FDADockets@oc.fda.gov Subject: slaughter of downed animals To Whom It May Concern: A petition (Docket # 98P-0151/CP1) is currently before the Food and Drug Administration to prohibit the slaughter of 'downed' animals. As a consumer of animal meat products and an advocate in support of maintaining a healthy food supply and the humane treatment of animals, I would like to express my strong support of the prohibition of slaughter of downed animals. Thank you in advance for your consideration of my opinion on this matter. Kind regards, Chris Schreiner Salem, OR
