Researching for my project, I found out that Premarin is made from pregnant mares

urine and the horses are kept at PMU barns throughout Canada. At these barns, the

horses are kept in a small stand up stall and are connected to a collection harness. The

urine runs from behing the horse to the front of the stall where the urine is picked up

by a collecter. All of the barns are on a contract with Wyth-Ayrest and most of the

barns in Saskatchewan have been shut down. After the horses are done in the barns, they

go to slaughter.

There are a lot of synthetic versions of Premarin that women can use. Why don't

they use them?

Software: Star Office 7, Internet.

Source of Idea: A friend and my interest in horses.
