The
Anti-Premarin Campaign
Giving Women a Choice
"The Bitter Pill"
Premarin is the most popular drug in the
United States, with an estimated nine million American women taking Premarin
prescriptions to treat menopausal symptoms. Yet what many women, and even some
doctors who prescribe this hormone replacement therapy, don’t realize is that
Premarin is made with estrogens extracted from pregnant mares’ urine … and that
tens of thousands of pregnant mares and their new born baby foals are suffering
every year to produce this bitter pill.
Women should know that Premarin mares are
forced to stand in small stalls for months on end while their urine is collected
and that their new-born baby foals are herded off to slaughter every year to be
sold to European meat markets.
Cruelty-free plant-based and synthetic
alternatives to Premarin ARE available! Tens of thousands of women have been
using these alternatives to treat their menopausal symptoms with success – and
with compassion.
By visiting the
United Animal Nations website, you can read
more about the Premarin industry and view excerpts from their video expose,
"Look Into Their Eyes". There are also suggestions on how you can get
involved in UAN's campaign to save the Premarin horses. Join the "I’ve Switched"
campaign, sign up for their
PMULines
action alert newsletter or send a gift to help sponsor the adoption of a
Premarin mare or foal. Please do what you can to aid the Premarin mares and
foals. Remember, you have a choice. Horses don’t!
