Downed Animal Protection - No Downers Campaign

I pledge to...

<strong>Downed Animal Protection - No Downers Campaign<br /><br /></strong><br />
<p><strong>The USDA closed a loophole and banned downed cattle from being slaughtered and entering the human food supply. While this step is a milestone in efforts to protect those animals too sick and injured to walk, or even stand, protections need to be expanded to all species. Help continue this momentum.<br /></strong><br />Thank you for closing the loophole that allowed downed cattle to be slaughtered and to enter the food supply. This will prevent a lot of cruelty and suffering and demonstrates a commitment to the humane treatment of livestock.</p>
<p><strong>Please take another step forward, and apply this rule to all species of livestock, including pigs, sheep and goats. They too suffer when they are unable to stand and walk on their own and are pushed and prodded to the slaughter line.<br /><br />LINK:<br /><a href="https://secure2.convio.net/fsi/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&amp;page=UserAction&amp;id=255&amp;JServSessionIdr008=yo45719f62.app8b">https://secure2.convio.net/fsi/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&amp;page=UserAction&amp;id=255&amp;JServSessionIdr008=yo45719f62.app8b</a></strong></p>
