Re:  Docket Number  98P-0151/CP1

To Whom it may concern:

I am writing to express my support of Docket Number  98P-0151/CP1,
the 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.

Thank you for accepting my comments supporting Docket # 98P-0151/CP1.

Sincerely,

Cheryl L. Vallone
