PMU Information
|
There are over 9 million women taking Premarin products. It is one
of the highest prescribed drugs in the nation.
|
|
|
 | One mare (female horse)
provides enough urine for approximately 150 women a
year...therefore, 9 million women divided by 150 women per horse =
60,000 pregnant mares needed to provide estrogen rich urine for
these 9 million women a year! What’s worse is the baby-boomers are
reaching menopausal age. If these women aren’t educated about the
Premarin industry, these numbers could rise enormously. |
|
| Their are 60,000
pregnant mares needed per year to produce Premarin, therefore there
are 60,000 foals born to these mares each year! They are
considered mere by-products of this industry. |
| The mares at PMU
(Pregnant Mare Urine) farms are impregnated, fitted with a urine
collector device and put on "pee lines" for approximately
6 – 8 months. They are tied in small 8’ long X 3‘ wide stalls.
Many are kept dehydrated so their urine is concentrated. |
| The mares are taken off
the "pee lines" at foaling time and put outside to foal.
They are re-impregnated and returned to the PMU production line. If
these mares fail to get pregnant they too are generally sent to
slaughter and replaced. |
| It has been reported
that a small percent of foals at PMU farms do not survive due to
exposure, starvation, or "clubbing" at birth. Of the foals
that do survive, an estimated 9 out of every 10 fillies (females)
and 49 out of every 50 colts (males) go to slaughter and their meat
is shipped over seas for human consumption. |
| The true tragedy is
that there are several other synthetic and plant-based alternatives
on the market today. It is not even necessary to produce this drug!
Women are rarely told what and how Premarin is made. If given the
choice, most would not choose to be party to this cruelty and
slaughter of these tens of thousands of horses and would opt for a
synthetic drug. |
