Bea Arthur Speaks Out Against Premarin

[xeniakennedy]

they chain up pregnant horses, kill the babies and eat them instead of letting them live. Women who needed premarin now can take a pill from plants

[seb389]

I love bea, but how does it tourer the donkey? They pee all the time!

[singinglawnchair]

I heard this at the end of today's Distorted View and I nearly spat out the beverage I was enjoying. Thanks Tim Henson. XD

[LittlePizzelle]

Thanks for looking out for us, Bea. :)

[tiffinnisaintranae]

she was so cool and such a fun and sweet person! and im glad she cared to fight against cruelty to animals etc etc--

[stupidjunk878]

TIM HENSON IS MADE OF HORSE URINE

[prickwillow]

I'm going through menopause and would rather find natural ways to combat the symptoms than use premarin.The horses a subjected to so much misery.Bea I applaud you for speaking out against this.

For any out there that don't agree just take a look at the footage PETA has on this and you will be disgusted if you have care for animals.

[gamehound83]

My friend was a farmer and I saw how they slaughtered animals. I agree with you 100%

[sisarena]

IT WAS ONCE SAID THAT WHEN A BLACK PERSON BECOMES PRESIDENT THAT IT WOULD BE A DAY "WHEN PIGS FLY"... INDEED, 100 DAYS INTO OFFICE AND YOU GOT IT: SWINE FLU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EAT SHIT OBAMA AND YO' MAMA YOU MUSLIM AMERICAN HATING FAGGOT!

too bad your mother didn't chose abortion! :(

[kmcwil01]

too bad your mother doesn't have a time machine, a coat hanger and some moist towelettes.

[Lavenderrose73]

Shoot, I guess they obtain it in a very uncomfortable way for the horse then? I mean I don't wish to take horse pee, but the description is saying something about cruelty so I'm guessing they don't just wait till the horse naturally has to pee to get what they need.

...shoot, I don't even know what Premarin IS.

[fldoughboy72]

RIP Bea..we weill miss you.

[IlREdiTUTTo]

Serious issue, but totally funny way she does it...

"For women who take Premarian, DONT!"

[kmcwil01]

To produce Premarin, mares are impregnated, fitted with a UCD and normally kept throughout their last six months of pregnancy in stalls just 8 feet long, by 3 1/2 feet wide, by 5 feet high! Just before foaling they are taken "off line" and allowed to foal in outside paddocks, 6 months later they are back to do it again. Their foals are fattened up and sold to slaughter. Do you have any idea how many horses and foals DIE in the production of this pill that can be made synthetically??

[gymnastix]

Then why would this pill still be produced if one may be made synthetically which does exactly the same thing?

There must be a reason this drug is still produced, because it is in some way better and different acting than the synthetic variety.

Companies don't make products that are more difficult to manufacture, more costly, if there is a cheaper alternative, unless there is a reason, because, as I think we would both agree, the bottom line of businesses is usually the bottom line.

[kmcwil01]

Because it's probably cheaper for them to continue to torture horses, and so many people have absolutely no clue how Premarin is produced and continue to take it.

[1Vella]

wait just because its made from their pee doesn't mean that the animals are being treated cruelly

[kmcwil01]

I'm pretty sure all the foals who get slaughtered, and the horses who get terrible infections,from the urine collecting devices they use think its cruel. Learn your facts.

[nurser11]

I liked Bea til I just found out she was a PETA nut. ...shame....

[MoronOfTheDayAwards]

hey nurser11, on the day of her death, I wish to tell you - you're a kooky bastard for not understanding how GROSS premarin is, and caring about how animals are stocked for this drug, when there's alternatives. So, wake the f up. You probably approve of torture also and forget that 9/11 came on Bushies watch... you anti-ethicals are all alike!

[sisarena]

what does that mean, foolish one? get off of Bush, all muslim Obama has said is that he would change... he has never said what he is going to change so all who voted for him, you dont' even know what he is going to actually, really do.

[laneatlileden]

if its made out of urine then that makes you golden.....GIRL!

[SoloHero]

Is she kidding me?

[urinoid]

If you crush up a premarin pill it really smells like pee. This video looks like it's at least 10-15 yrs old. Is this stuff still around?

[frelnc]

Sure is. It's the most widely prescribed medication in the United States and Canada.

[LAWAGO]

not quite

[frelnc]

Looked it up. You're right - ONE of the most widely prescribed...

[GreenPencil305]

Did anyone notice that Bea blinks twice after she says "I'm not kidding"?

[nomaman1925]

so what

[frelnc]

And this is significant - how?

[MusicJunkie777]

She's not kidding..

Gotta love Bea ^^

[NiXiBaybee]

thank you bea arthur!

[babes477]

god bless you bea for supporting what u belive in xxx

[rdangelo]

Who's this guy Bea?

[babes477]

bea arthur is a woman who stars in the golden girls she played dorothy, and used be in maude but that was be4 my time, i hope i answered you question, xx

[weatdamal]

thank you bea!!! FIGHT 4 WAT U BELIEVE!!!!

[CatPilot]

And they kill the horses to get this...urine?

[offcameherhead]

The pregnant mares are shackled in horrific conditions in order to obtain the hormone-rich urine, and their foals very often sold by the pound at horse slaughterhouses, their meat consumed overseas.

[msscott73]

OMG, That is such a horrible thing. I hope thats not true. I really do.

[ADEMAR07]

Dear YouTube friends:Col.Sanders shall never be remembered as an honest man because of his crimes against animals,people and Nature.He was ridiculous,selfish,cruel and crooked as are his employees.PLEASE STOP KILLING ANIMALS!STOP EATING MEAT!GOD BLESS BEA ARTHUR!ThankyouAdemar07

[NimraukoGalendel]

Im sorry I love animals as much as the next fag, but I am not going to stop eating meat as ITS NATURAL AND NEEDED FOR CERTAIN NUTRITIOUS FACTS. Anyways KFC is delicious regardless of how the chicken has to die. Harsh? Perhaps. But stop being such a prude

[BeachBabby233]

GOD did make it for us to eat meat but! Not to kill them in this way!

Your saying their a "Prude" because they are standing up for what they believe in?

Your body does need the nutrition but what about all the DRUGS they put into the animals so they grow faster! That goes into your body too!

[jemdyar17]

NimraukoGalendel has done absolutely no research to back up his theories, has no clue what he is talking about. Eating meat is not natural, humans have the digestive system of an herbivore, and vegans who eat no animal products live longer, have higher IQs, are contributing MUCH less greenhouse gases to global warming and are helping prevent world hunger. Please do some actual research before you make a false claim.

[nurser11]

wrong on the IQ point.....isnt it obvious in the greenhouse gasses statement. the "research" is also conducted by nuts so the results are skewed.

[justicetruthreality]

Thanks Bea. It is crucial that every man and women go to, hersfoundation, to sign the petition, and watch the free video "female anatomy", this is the biggest best kept secret in the medical industry, and will not only protect female humans, but female horses, too. Women with unnecessarily performed hysterectomy mostly use premerin.

[lv5053]

Another disturbing fact.....cigarrettes (or the tobacco in them) are made with a chemical found in dog urine! Think about that next time you light up!

[unicornrose]

i think they shouldn't stop making it,but be4 you name me as a monster read on, i love horses, so i think they should improve the conditions and find loving homes for the foals, i am trying to raise awareness to help improve the living conditions of these mares,

-to give them more room, comfort, carers to clean them out and groom and love them and to make sure they can eat and drink and lie down. prehaps this would be better than taking it off the shelves completely???

[peteandurnot]

I don't get this one. Its not like its hurting the horse. Do they object to drinking milk too because it comes from Cows?

[52Girl]

That, my friend, is where you are wrong. They gather the urine from pregnant mares that are crammmed into tiny stalls for the term of pregnancy, where they develop sores and hoof disease for standing in their own poop. Their foals meet a horrible fate, as with the mother...slaughterhouses. So, I suggest you read about this tragedy on the link above so it will help you understand more.

[peteandurnot]

If what you say is true then I think maybe Bea Arthur should have stated that in the add. It certainly would have a huge effect.

[CandyRazorbladeProd]

Anybody whos taken their time to look up Premarin will tell you its not just innocent pee gathering. Its a horrific industry(primarly in Canada) where the breed the horses solely for their urine and after they are infertile they slaughter them. I think Bea Arthur didn't say that because today's ignorant society is more persuaded by the ick factor

[SpeedBumpRump]

But....a lot of vital diabetes medicines are made from pig's blood...

[52Girl]

Really...

[SpeedBumpRump]

The animals' rights act is very caring, as much as I love the Golden Girls, & their support too, I find it important! But sometimes it gets confusing as to whether they're aware that some crucial things made for human survival produced from animals in some ways, are in fact--impossible to substitute. Others, are obvious. Game hunting, for example. Is NOT needed for our survival. That's not acceptable to me. Isn't it sad though? That we TRY to justify some things that can't be changed.

[52Girl]

Well, this very video started my interaction with PETA and I'm proud of speaking up for animals who deserve a second chance.

[MidstreamHorse]

You've got it all fucked up. Game hunting is not deliberately breeding, holding captive and then killing when no longer useful. Game hunting helps keep populations down so animals don't die long starvation deaths. Most hunters have more respect for animals than your fucking selfish "don't dare let human survival be comprimised" self. You convince yourself that you are caring person, but you are simply concerned about you. Typical 68 percenter.

[SpeedBumpRump]

Maybe I SHOULD HAVE said POACHERS instead. My dad was a hunter, & I agree that hunting has always been crucial & important to our survival. Most hunters are very respectful for all animals. But you know, as passionate as you are towards my YouTube COMMENT, maybe you should go form a riot somewhere and protest against us "FUCKING SELFISH 68-percenters." It's a YouTube video. Why do you care to talk so much shit? I don't give a fuck what you ignorant assholes have to say, but don't judge me, okay?

[Stezzer]

Bea Arthur and the other "Golden Girls" have always used their fame to promote animal welfare. They should be congratulated for their efforts.

Thanks for this and the other vids.
