Mares pay a painful price for HRT drug

I WISH to draw attention to the make-up of the commonly used drug HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy).

It is not widely known that tens of thousands of pregnant mares are kept in captivity where their urine is collected for the making of this drug due to its oestrogen content.

The mares are fitted with a collection cup attached to a hose and confined in a narrow stall for the entire eleven months of their pregnancy.
