To the FDA:
Re: Docket number 98P-0151/CP1

I would like to express my support for Docket number
98P-0151/CP1, a petition filed with the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) to completely prohibit the
slaughter of downed animals. By cutting out the market
for downed animals, the livestock industry will have
more of an incentive to treat animals humanely,
euthanizing "downed animals" on-farm, and more
importantly, preventing the injuries that cause
"downed animals" in the first place.  

The humane treatment of these "downed animals" is way
overdue and this petition takes their plight
seriously.

Thank you for your attention to this very serious
matter and the opportunity to comment.
