It is outrageous and inhumane that cows too sick to walk are not humanely euthanized. The American public is looking to the FDA to eliminate unnecessary food risks and to maintain high standards of industry quality.
Downed animals pose increased risk for bacterial infection, especially mad cow disease.
Further, it is impossible to move downed animals humanely. Removing the market for downed animals will provide the incentive to remove downed animals in the first place. Thank you for your kind attention and anticipated approval of the Docket.
