Horse hormones....great idea.

Whoever thought to extract horse urine and make an estrogen pill to give to menopausal women was a real moron. Well a real rich moron now. When I found out about this process I was absolutely livid - not only are they doing unquestionable harm and cruelty to horses which is completely unnecessary but women are actually ingesting this stuff which who even knows how much harm this actually causes! It is just ridiculous and ludicrous to me. An excerpt from the Equine Advocates website (http://www.equineadvocates.com/) talks about the awful life that these horses have. They are kept in stalls and are unable to move so their urine is able to be caught in tubes. After years and years of abuse, when they are "used up" they are then sold for slaughter. Remember this is all in the name of women trying to "ease their symptoms" of menopause. And we haven't even gotten into all of the side effects and problems that premarin can cause!!
