i think there is a difference between adopting premarin foals anbd the french rescues......mainly that with french rescues the farmer is getting his money either way. With premarin foals they are a by product, and not the actual source of income for the farmers...just a sad waste product, most of the rescue sites are also running campaigns but are saving foals in the meantime too.

how is signing a petition going to help? loadsa people have tried to get this stopped, the reality is that it wont stop unless they find an alternative to the hormone they are using. They make millions from this industry. Signing a petition may make u feel better about it yourself and make u feel like u r doing something towards it but in reality it won't change a thing. What we really need to do is go over there with a big shotgun and shoot those greedy horse abusing bastards between the eyes

i for one am not signing this petition to make myself feel better - i dont see it as a waste of time as already many people know about it who never did before - there is a herbal alternative but ladys who get this drug prescribed by the doctor dont know or think about the story behind it - so yes i do this it will change a thing the more people who know and feel strongly about something rather than sitting back the more power we have to stop something like this.

Signing a petition is better than sitting on your backside doing nothing at all!
I think we all realise that this needs huge media coverage to really make a difference. Unfortunately this is not easy to achieve so we do what we CAN.
I, for one, am not interested in making myself feel better, but I am interested in whatever tiny step we can take to make those poor mares and foals feel better. Support would be better than criticism.

keep upping this. i work at a horse vets and i was having a chat with the yard manager (also good friend) and i mentioned it and she had heard of it and she said the key is to raise awareness because she has made quite a few people come off the drug just by saying where it originates so it doesnt take alot of persuading, its a lucky thing that the drug can only be taken by women because we are so much more caring then men

I've signed the petition. When you look into the way people exploit animals, it makes you truely ashamed and disgusted to be human. It happens day-in, day-out in so many industries. The thing is, where people benefit they will sometimes turn a blind eye. I bet you there will be some people out there who will even be more disgusted by the fact that permarin is obtained from urine rather than the way the horses are treated I think a lot of people will be ignorant to how the drug is produced so increasing awareness and educating people is definitely the way to go.
