Subject: Please stop downed animals from being slaughtered for food
Petition:98P-0151/CP1

Hello,

I would like to know that any meat I might eat is safe and sanitary.  I
don't see how an animal too weak to stand could be considered healthy.

If the industry does not have a vet examine the downed animal before
slaughtering God knows what virus people could end up eating.

Thank you,

Mike Godshall
