Dear Mr. Alvarez,

It has come to my attention that the FDA has approved the sale of milk and meat from cloned animals and their offspring, without labels. As a conscientious consumer, it is very important to me that food is produced without animal cruelty, yet experts agree that cloning significantly increases animal suffering.

You state on your website that you are sensitive to social, environmental, animal welfare, and food safety and quality issues. In fact, you invite the world to "See What We're Made Of." The McDonald's menu should not be made of clones.

To assure myself and the majority of people around the world who object to cloning animals for food that your products do not promote animal cruelty, I urge you to publicly pledge that cloned animals and their offspring will never be part of McDonald's menu. As a leading global food company that has tried to set an industry example on animal welfare standards, it is important that you take the lead and stand up against animal cloning.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]
