Subject: Docket # 98P-0151/CP1 

Dear Sirs:

I am writing you to support the petition that has been filed 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.

I hope that the needless suffering of these animals can be eradicated by 
petitions such as this one.  Please support the cause to protect the rights 
of farm/food animals.

Many thanks,
J. Stewart
Houston, TX
