Did you allow your signatures to be affixed to a statement in December 2004 defending various shechita procedures having occurred at Agriprocessors (Rubashkin’s) in Postville, Iowa?

If so, please explain how you allowed these procedures in light of the many Poskim who explicitly forbid them?

If not, please let the public know that your names were used without your permission and set the record straight on this gross violation of halacha and kashrut standards?
