From: Esscal@aol.com Sent: Friday, March 02, 2001 2:31 PM To: FDADockets@oc.fda.gov Subject: Docket98P0151/CP1 Please prohibit slaughter of downed animals. I do not want mad cow disease or foot and mouth disease to occur in the USA. Use of downed animals for food will contribute to those horrors. Factory farming in the USA has gone too far. We need simply to look at Europe to realize that. My health is not worth the "efficiencies" gained by factory farming and its associated practices.
