As a person who loves almost all animals and am opposed to animal cruelty I felt all of you should know about Premarin and what it is and how many horses/fouls die every year because of this therapy. Premarin is from pregnant mare's urine and they are kept in stalls for 6 months with bags on them to collect the urine. The fouls from the pregnant mare's are considered by-product and most are sent to the slaughter house after they are born. There are other replacements that can be used instead of this product so PLEASE talk to your doctor about alternative methods.
