Im glad to see this thread I started didnt turn too evil. We have some great bros in Canada. I cant say much for their government, but you cant blame a whole group of people for the actions of a few. Our government has plenty of assholes in it too. I guess the animal torturing BS just got to me. Canada and the US have their hands in this animal abuse too. Hell, Im turning into an animal rights activist. Get me a PETA shirt! lol.

The nightmare of Premarin (HRT)
Linda Page, N.D. Ph.D.
Premarin, is made from pregnant mare's urine, and that the mares are kept in horrendous conditions - their foals are sold for slaughter. Premarin is the most prescribed of all drugs in America today. Most women don't know what Premarin is made of or how it is made. Today, there are 484 horse factories located in Southern and Central Canada and North Dakota which hold about 75,000 horses. The biggest Percherons and Clydesdales and large thoroughbreds are used - the noblest of horses - the larger the mare, the more urine and estrogen they can produce.
The mares are artificially inseminated and forced to spend their 11-month pregnancies in stalls so small they cannot turn. If they try to lie down, their heads are jolted upright by their halter chains. Long lines of pregnant horses stand, chained and strapped into cramped concrete and steel pens like rows of four-legged galley slaves. They shuffle uncomfortably from hoof to hoof. A forlorn look fills their eyes as they stare. Their coats are dull, their ears droopy - tell-tale signs of a horse's misery. Many get sore, swollen legs or become crippled from standing, months on end, in their tiny concrete stalls.
The mares are kept constantly thirsty. They are denied water so that their urine becomes thick. If they were allowed to drink as much as a normal horse needs, it would over-dilute their estrogen. A rubber, medieval-looking "pee bag" and harness is strapped over the mares' vagina by elastic hoses, secured round their flanks and run over a pulley to the ceiling above them, causing sores which are left open and untreated. Most develop painful urinary tract infections due to the inhumane conditions.
This treatment is for their entire lives which only last for the years they are capable of foaling. Once they can no longer become pregnant, the mares will be shot for horsemeat - just like the majority of the unwanted foals to which they give birth - their reward for producing the billions of dollars made for the estrogen drugs prescribed to unsuspecting women.
