2.URGENT: Sign the letter to Cameron

Hi GMWatch,

Apologies for the unsolicited email but I'm the web manager at Compassion in World Farming and I thought you may get behind our supporter action on cloning ("sign our letter to David Cameron") which will be delivered to Downing Street tomorrow. So, we have a push on to get as many signatures as possible today.

Our action is, of course, a reaction to the coverage in the media this week but cloning has been a long term issue for us too, with political lobbying and supporter letter writing eventually resulting in the recent vote by the European Parliament to prohibit food from cloned animals and their offspring.

We believe that intensive farming already leads to significant welfare issues, with cows bred for very high milk production being at risk of lameness and infertility. Apart from the high mortality rate of cloned animals themselves, the raison d’être of farm animal cloning is to achieve ever greater yields and the result will be more severe accompanying health issues.

Anyone who would like to sign our letter can do so here:

If you could highlight this action on Facebook, Twitter (#cloning) or via email to your network of supporters that would be a great help.

Thanks and keep up the good work,
Dave
