Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 ~forgive the mass email. This is a pretty sick thing, and we should all try and sign this petition. I do not want to eat cloned animals!Dear Dr. Von Eschenbach, Comissioner of the FDAWe the undersigned, believe that cloning animals for food is dangerous and morally wrong. We urge the FDA to change its position that currently states "meat and milk from clones of adult cattle, pigs and goats, and their offspring, are as safe to eat as food from conventionally bred animals."The FDA has said that food products from cloned animals will likely contain no special labeling - making it likely that we all will consume cloned animal products without realizing it. This is unfair, unjust, and simply wrong.Cloning of animals is dangerous for numerous reasons including:- studies have found unexpected results from cloning animals (the animals often die or have abnormalities... "cloning" is not exact)- cloned livestock will be prone to epidemics due to their genetic similarities- too little research has been performed to know the full ramificationsCloning is unethical- animals impregnated with cloned eggs have been shown to suffer - cloning is unnatural, counter to most religious beliefs- cloning results in the suffering and deaths of numerous animals- putting cloned milk and meat into the food supply is experimenting with public welfareSIGN THE PETITION NOW!!http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/326647632 "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
