ATTN: WOMEN - Premarin: A Bitter Pill
The single-most-prescribed drug in the United States is made from pregnant's horse mare's urine.
Pregnant mares are kept tied up inside the PMU barn stalls for months on end
while their urine is collected to product this pill !!!!
The stalls are deliberately kept narrow to prevent pregnant mares from turning or lying down
with their legs stretched out for fear the collection cups will become detached as the urine is "harvested."
And, worse yet, many of these mares get little or no exercise for the six months they are forced to stand in the barns.
The story is just as tragic for the foals who must be disposed of.
Read about this drug. Premarin
