Stop Slaughter of Downed Animals for Human Consumption!
- Target: Dockets Management Branch, U.S. Food and Drug Administration
- Sponsored by: Lauren Weeks
This petition is to urge the Food and Drug administration to grant petition 98P-0151/CP1, which would prohibit the slaughter of downed animals. Downed animals suffer horribly when they are moved into trailers to be sent to slaughter; they are routinely dragged with chains or pushed with tractors and forklifts, causing injuries ranging from bruises and abrasions to broken bones and torn ligaments. They are often denied food and water for days on end, and many die of exposure and neglect. There is also evidence that these sick, incapacitated animals carry a variation of Mad Cow disease, which causes "downer-cow syndrome." Upon conducting autopsies, Yale university found that over 10% of the supposed Alzheimers patients actually had died of CJD (a strain of mad cow disease). For the sake of the animals and for our own health, please sign this petition urging the FDA to grant petition number 98P-0151/CP1
