Subject: Downed Animals and the Inhumane Treatment

Dear Sir:
I do not understand why human beings seem to think that the animals on this
earth are here to serve them and for their use & abuse.  I urge you to take
a very long and hard look at what is happening in the industry that you
oversee.  Surely a person in your position has the authority to change the
current practices of treatment of animals. Please don't ever for one minute
think that you are exempt from having to answer for this cruelty to our
animals.  We will all answer for it but in the meantime, STOP this insanity
and bring forth the compassion that we all own inside us.  Animals have
feelings.  They feel fear and pain and anxiety and certainly never deserve
anything but fair and humane consideration by every human on this earth just
as we expect back from them to us.
Please don't waste another minute! Put a plan for change into action right
away and follow through with it.

Sincerely,
Nancy McCarron
on behalf of PETA
