Help pass the Downed Animal and Food Safety Protection Act

I just took action online to prevent cruelty to "downed" animals
and protect public health. "Downers" are animals too sick or
injured to walk on their own. They are often dragged to
slaughter with chains or just left to suffer and die, sometimes
for days. This kind of suffering is inexcusable. In addition,
downed animals have a higher risk of carrying diseases, like mad
cow, E. coli, and Salmonella. Congress is considering a bill to
ban the slaughter of downed animals. I hope you will join me and
encourage your Representative and Senators to support the Downed
Animal and Food Safety Protection Act. It will only take a
minute -- here is the link:
