Subject: Oppose Cloning Animals for Food
Voice Your Opposition to Cloning Animals for Food!
This alert is forwarded by API on behalf of the American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS).
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its review and is moving towards allowing milk and meat from animal clones and their offspring into the food supply. Ignoring the scientific evidence that cloning poses serious risks to animal welfare, the FDA is close to permitting cloned foods onto our grocery store shelves without labels.
The FDA needs to hear that you oppose cloning animals for food. Send your letter now — the comment period closes April 2!
