Please read this short article, then copy and past this into a new email sign your name at the bottem and foreward this to everyone you know What Women Should Know About Premarin Premarin is the most prescribed of all drugs in America today. Most women don't know what Premarin is made from or how it is made. Once they know, most react like this women who commented on the World Wide Web, "After taking Premarin for over 15 years, I just found out that this drug is made from pregnant mares' urine, that the mares are kept in horrendous conditions, and that their foals are slaughtered. I will now be using synthetic or herbal version of HRT." Today, there are 484 horse factories located in southern and central Canada and North Dakota witch hold about 750,000 horses. The biggest Percherons and Clydsdales and large Thouroughbreds are used-the noblest of horses-the larger the mare the more urine and estrogen she can produce. The mares are artificially inseminated and forced to spend their 11-month pregnancies in stalls so small they cannot turn. If they try to lie down there heads are jolted upright by chains. Long lines of pregnant horses stand, chained and strapped into cramped concrete and steel pens like rows of four legged slaves. They shuffle uncomfortably from hoof to hoof. A forlorn look fills their eyes as they stare. Their coats are dull, their ears droopy-telltale signs of a horse's misery. Many develop sore, swollen legs or become crippled from standing months on end in their tiny concrete stalls. The mares are kept constantly thirsty. They are denied water so that their urine becomes thick. If they where allowed to drink as a normal horse needs, it would over-dilute their estrogen. A rubber, medieval looking "pee-bag" and harness is strapped over the mares vaginas by elastic hoses, secured around there flanks; and run over a pulley to the ceiling above them, causing sores which are left open and untreated. Most develop painful urinary tract infections due to the inhumane conditions. This treatment is for their entire lives, which only last for the years, they are capable of foaling. Once they can no longer become pregnant, the mares will be shot for horsemeat-just like the majority of unwanted foals to witch they give birth-their reward for producing billions of dollars made from estrogen drugs prescribed to unsuspecting women. There is more sad information. The baby foals are taken from their mothers a month or two after birth. Some mares are kept as replacements, some killed immediately. Some foals and discarded PMU mares are loaded into windowless trucks without food and water and the door sealed (so that there doesn't have to be an expensive veterinary examination done), then the horses are shipped to the United States from Canada where they arrive 60 to 80 hours later. They are shipped to foal slaughter sales where row after row of pens are crammed with three to four thousand babies. Despite standing in the heat for several hours, few have access to any water. Some babies try to suckle milk from each other. All, except a handfull, are bought by meat dealers to be fattened for slaughter Help stop this abuse! copy and past this into a new email then sign your name and email this to everyone you know!
