The Bitter Truth About Premarin

Premarin, the most popular hormone drug for treating menopausal symptoms, is made from the urine of pregnant horses. Even worse, the horses used in or born as a result of this industry are often at risk of being sold for slaughter. Find out more about the bitter truth behind drugs like Premarin, and what can do to help the horses.

If we all spread the word on shutting down production from Wheth,com (Company), maybe OUR voices for those abused horses and foals will finally be put to a stop. Plus the Gynos need to stop prescribing it also. DO NOT buy Premarin!

My dad had never heard of Premarin and what is being done to the horses to manufacture this drug. This was a great video to send him! One of my goals in life is to be able to buy/adopt mares like this (or horses off the track, horse racing is big down here), retrain (or rehab), and resell/adopt them out to loving homes. As a nurse and a woman, I hope to educate other women about their other options to get through menopause (which can be very rough).

The video & the truth behind the video is terrible, but let us not attack the women using Premarin or belittle the suffering that some women go thru during menopause. I own Buddy, who was the last foal born to Gypsy (who was owned by a premarin farm). Getting them out of that & letting them live normal is wonderful. I wish more people would adopt these great horses. Promote the use of other meds for the ease of menopause & promote the adoption of these wonderful horses.

@parrot2me I soo agree with you on that comment..I asked my mother of what estrogen she took and thank goodness its nothing that starts with P...If you really think about it Premarin,Preperin, all start with P (pee) GROSS!! Go for plant if you must or not take anything at all..UGh..When I hit menopausal, I am going all natural, with no "meds" to help me thru it =)

Had my hysterectomy in 1995.Did the patches for two weeks absolutely hated the dam things threw them away and told the Dr I didn't need them.He kept pushing HRT so much I quit going to him and I told him why that he maybe a Doctor,but I knew my body way better than he did.I haven't had any HRT since 95 and had no symptoms ever!

Trust me if companies were to list horse piss as a main ingredient that would put an end to this awful industry and to the women who insist on taking why not let them get it straight from the source.Just hand them each a glass and let them stand in horse manure right behind the poor mare and have them catch in a glass,plus it'll real fresh and warm too!Its just as disgusting in pill form too!

Is it really right to cater to certain stupid women who feel that menopause is just too much for them...?

so let's have female horses suffer to the point of not even being able to lie down so a female human might not have to go through a natural process call menopause...

at a certain point this type of selfish thinking becomes intolerable.

The government needs to step in and stop all production of Premarin in Canada. We can not allow this cruelty to continue. Horses are extremely sensitive, astute and sentient. And for all those women who are naive and ignorant enough to continue to take a drug from which they can get cancer, so be it. Maybe a few million women need to die in order for change to occur. Is this what our government wants? Human sacrifice before they step in and shut down the Premarin factories?

Support new bill C-322 and END the cruel practise of horse-slaughter in canada, to where these foals and mares end up, when the time comes to get rid of them. tks
