Bencel 40 Cutler Street Wharton, NJ 07885-2449 December 3, 1998 Dockets Management Branch U.S. Food and Drug Administration 5630 Fishers Lane, Room 1061 Rockville, MD 20852 FDADockets@bangate.fda.gov Dockets Management Branch; Referencing Docket 98N-0339, the Future of FDA. Despite your technological advances, it seems that you insist on destroying innocent lives of animals, which defeats the humane responsibility of getting beyond lab testing. While other physicians in the medical community are fighting AGAINST lab testing, the typical government response is to fight progress. You should be Decreasing your animal labs, NOT increasing. I'm taking every measure to safeguard the lives of these precious creatures of God, whose anatomy has Nothing to do with ours. I'm not convinced that you are looking to the future, when your increase in animal labs, sends an entirely different message. It's been shown that this kind of testing is totally irrelevant, costly and ineffective for human treatment. I resent my money being used to pay for such atrocities. I'm an animal lover and have had my share of pets. You obviously are not familiar with the Bible's commandment of "THOU SHALT NOT KILL." This is NOT limited to people. Animal lives should not be tortured, for any reason. You have blatantly disregarded the value of life and use mid-evil medicine laws to justify their torment. You will have to answer for that someday. Your ignorance thrives on the defenseless. The EPA and USDA are no saints either, but you seem to control what they have to answer to. Therefore, much of this sin is on Your conscious, assuming you even have one. Based on the facts available to me from both your web site; companies such as Proctor & Gamble and animal right groups, it's not too evident that you even posses a conscious. Companies such as Proctor & Gamble, to which I've also addressed this issue, suggests that you insists on such testing for their products. For SHAME, that there are still professionals in the medical community that resists progress at the expense of these defenseless and loving creatures due to greed, that won't give-up the hideous practice of satanic treatment. Someday, you'll have to answer before God. God was adamantly against all animal and human sacrifice! He gave us the intelligence to treat all life with love and respect! Not to Lordeth over with contempt. A contempt of court comes with a price, so shall your contempt of God's creatures. God Speed the deliverance of his mercy on those animals you destroy and God help you at judgment day. Sincerely, Donna A. Bencel
