 I have only just seen this, and I'm amazed no one has comented, it really should be on Gen Horse Talk. This is one of the most disgusting, cruel practices of our times, and despite huge publicity in the past, nothing happens.  Years ago, I tried to leave leaflets explaining this outrage in Dr's surgeries. I was prevented from doing so, and yet when they tried to put ME on Premarin, my Doctor reckoned she had no idea what it was made from or the barbaric practice behind it.

Thank-you SS3 i have now put it onto the General board aswell - yeah its disgusting isant it and maybe nothing will come from my petition to stop it but hopefully it will make a lot more people aware of what is involved etc heres some information on the treatment - WARNING this is not very nice reading or viewing and im sure there is a video on this - please dont look if you dont want but take a read of the information they give you (if you can) - im sure alot of people dont know the treatment that they endure. www.lcanimal.org/invest/premarin2.htmthere is more info if you google 'Premarin Mares' or Premarin mare treatment' |

I don't want to sound unsupportive, it is a completely barbaric practice that should be banned worldwide, but...
There is probably not much that the UK government can do on this. As far as I know, this is not something that's happening in the UK and therefore the UK has no power to ban the practice. Yes, there may be some pressure that could be put in various places but even that would probably be minor. I would have thought the most effective route would be to look into how much this drug is still used in the UK and lobby NICE to have it withdrawn.
It's not that I'm not with you in spirit on this, debutante, it's more that I think a No 10 petition isn't going to be an effective way of tackling the issue.
