Dear Madam or Sir:

I would like to offer my support regarding Docket Number  
98P-0151/CP1 to prohibit the slaughter of downed animals.

Downed animals are most often treated inhumanely and brutally.
I urge you to completely prohibit the slaughter of downed
animals, to cut out the market for them. 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.

Sincerely,

Vanessa Marcol
