Stop Feeding Chicken Feces to Cows!
Target: FDA Comissioner Margaret HamburgSponsored by: Consumers Union
Did you know that cattle are routinely fed the waste from the floor of commercial chicken houses? That's feces, feathers, spilled feed, straw, dirt and anything else on the floor under the cramped birds.
Chicken farmers have more chicken waste than they know what to do with. And cattle feedlots are always on the lookout for low cost feed. But against that simple cost benefit, we need to weigh the safety of our food.
The practice of feeding chicken waste to cattle is both disgusting and unsafe. It must end. Tell the FDA to stop cattle companies from feeding chicken waste to cows.

I wouldn't like to eat a cow that has Chicken feces in in. It is so terrible for us and especially the cows.

Cattle are herbivores and it is both harmful and disgusting to feed them chicken feces/litter.

am disgusted that poultry litter -- manure, feathers, spilled feed, bedding material and dead rodents -- is allowed to be fed to cattle. It's disgusting, inhumane and unsafe.

This is the exact reason why we have so many diseases that we cannot control! This practice must end! We should not feed anything that we ourselves would not directly eat-because with this practice, you ARE in essence eating the chicken waste, and everything else the cows are being fed. If you cannot stop this practice, please encourage everyong to become a vegetarian. This is disgusting and cruel!

This practice is both incredibly cruel to the animals, and also unhealthy to anyone who eats them. It should be stopped immediately.
