Livestock Antibiotics

Tell the CEOs of two of America's largest livestock antibiotic users
that their way of doing business may threaten
the health of your family, yourself, and all of us.
Ask that they restrict their antibiotic use and practice safe business.

Dear Mr. Perdue:
As an American consumer, I strongly oppose the unnecessary use of antibiotics in poultry production to promote animal growth and simply increase corporate profits.  Europe banned the use of human antibiotics in livestock promotion in 1998; and growth-promoting antibiotics in livestock feed have been banned for over a decade in Sweden.*  And evidence suggests links between antibiotic-resistant bacteria and overuse of antibiotics in livestock.  This practice could be putting my family's health at risk.
I urge you to stop the unnecessary use of antibiotics in your food production.
Sincerely,
