From: SLilmis@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2001 12:49 PM To: FDADockets@oc.fda.gov Subject: Docket # 98P-0151/CP1 Dear FDA: I am urging you to grant petition 98P-0151/CP1 to prohibit the slaughter of downed animals. Hear the cries of thousands of animals that cannot speak for themselves. We must treat our animals humanely! "The greatness of a nation and it moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated...I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man." Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) Thank you, Connie Simpson slilmis@aol.com
