We support Docket #98P-0151/CP1  I have seen many cruel things at the
sale barn with down animals and mothers giving birth and dragged  all
over the sale barn and into the sale ring being beaten as they are
having contractions.  Sows unable to walk and dragged with a log chain
into trucks etc.  Cows for slaughter being used for AI training until
they can no longer stand up and I could go on all day.  They should be
killed instead of someone paying a few dollars for them.   Dave and Jean
