And now:[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: "Michael Two Horses" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> replies: Dear Senator Boxer, While Leonard Peltier has been treated as little better than an animal by the FBI and the US justice system, he is a human being and deserves to be treated as such. If my name (Michael Two Horses) accidentally triggered the response below, I understand that. However, I was writing you in support of clemency for Leonard Peltier, a Lakota-Anishinaabe man unjustly imprisoned for twenty-two years. Thanks for your time, Michael Two Horses -----Original Message----- From: Senator [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 22, 1999 9:44 AM To: Michael Two Horses Subject: Re: Clemency for Leonard Peltier Dear Friend: Thank you for contacting me to express your views. I appreciate your taking the time to contact me about animals. I have always fought against abusive and inhumane treatment of animals. During my years in Congress, I have supported policies designed to improve animal welfare. I believe that we must work to preserve our endangered species and our wildlife. In 1992, I fought for dolphin protection by writing legislation that encouraged tuna companies to commit to "dolphin-safe" policies. In 1997 my legislation, S. 1460, would preserve the definition of the "dolphin-safe" label, allow the import of "dolphin-safe" tuna only into the United States, and would cap dolphin deaths at 5,000 annually declining over time to a goal of zero mortality. I have worked to stop those animal experiments that are abusive and lacking in scientific merit. My "Consumer Products Safe Testing Act" asked government agencies to review their testing regulations with an eye toward replacing current animal testing requirements with non-animal alternatives. I will continue to fight for the humane treatment of animals. Again, thank you for sharing your views. Please, keep in touch. Sincerely, Barbara Boxer United States Senator <<<<=-=-= =-=-=>>>> "We simply chose an Indian as the emblem. We could have just as easily chosen any uncivilized animal."
