Urge your Senators and Representative to cosponsor S.1460/H.R.2932, The Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act of 2003.  This bipartisan legislation would phase out the use of medically important antibiotics as feed additives for farm animals. 

McDonald’s recently instituted a policy to reduce the antibiotics used by its meat suppliers in an effort to protect their customers’ health.  Industry recognizes that there is a major problem, but voluntary private sector initiatives are limited in number and scope, and are often difficult to verify.  This legislation will ensure comprehensive reductions of routine antibiotic use by most livestock and poultry producers.
