Will you please help stop the unnecessary slaughter of innocent mares and foals by the Wyeth Drug Co2007-11-25 17:00:51

Each year hundreds of innocent mares and foals are slaughter unnecessarily by The Wyeth Drug Company. The company manfactures the drug Premarin which is used as a hormone therapy in women. Premarin is a pill made from pregant mare urine. The company funds ranches to have these mare kept pregant to get their urine, The mares are kept in awful and inhumane conditions. Once the foals are born they are no use to the company so they are slaughtered along with the mares that can no longer make their quota. There are other alternatives to this drug that work the same, and the company's practice is unnecessary and cruel. Please help and sign the petition to end this cruel practice. Go to www.thepetitionsite.com/takeac. and look for PMU Mares and foals, its under animal welfare. Please help.

Answers:

Of course. This has been an ongoing fight between horse advocates and drug companies. (I used to do horse rescue and have worked with people who adopted/saved PMU foals so this topic is nothing new to me) In fact, I think this is a great time to address this problem in particular especially with the anti-horse slaughter bills that are currently on in the House and the Senate. If the momentum and awareness that has been created by this issue (slaughter) can be also used to fight this form of equine injustice we could potentially have a win win situation. I say go for it.

side note:(As for those who think this is all fun and games i.e. "I need a hamburger." You should watch a horse slaughter video and see how hungry you are then.)
