Dear Dr. Henney,

I am writing in support of Petition 99P-0485 to urge you to ban medically useful antibiotics from livestock feed.

I am terribly concerned about the consequences of this use of antibiotics which makes them less effective for humans. The conditions under which animals are bred and kept in factory-like, cruel conditions are appalling, and it is these conditions which make the use of the antibiotics a cheaper way to raise chickens and livestock while threatening the health of all. 

               Sincerely,
               Mary C. Rapaport
