Read down into this horse's adoption to see the story of what happens to PMU foals and mares. I find this unforgiveable. I mean, I am for some controversial medical things, if they save lives or cure/reverse devestating diseases. But this? Unbelievable.

Seems they should be able to make Premarin ,Prempro and Premphase type of hormone replacements some other way by now.
Synthetically or something. [What is a PMU/Premarin foal or mare? PMU stands for Pregnant Mare's Urine. Premarin is a hormone replacement therapy drug (HRTD) given to women during menopause. It is made by extracting estrogen from the urine of pregnant mares. Other HRTDs are made from PMU as well, such as Prempro and Premphase.]

I didn't read it yet but I think I know. I stopped Premarin because of what I found out about it. Me and menopause just learn to live with one another.

I knew they use pregnant horse urine to make hormones, but what I didn't know is that they have PMU horses. They are like the puppy mills.
I e-mailed a friend of mine who owns 20 horses and sent her the link. She e-mailed back that a friend and neighbor of hers actually rescues PMU horses and finds them good homes. This is all so very sad!

Thank you for raising awareness. A relative of mine adopted a Premarin foal. He is an adult now and loved very much but from what I understand could have been slaughtered if no one took him.
It is very cruel and as someone said similar to puppy mills. Why we as a society allow this type of thing to go on is beyond me. It makes me ashamed to be a member of the human race.
