When will Wyeth finally let your "dinosaur" drugs just die? Do all the reps and managers get tours of the PMU ranches so they can see the pitiful life of a mare (female horse) that is pregnant for the rest of her life from 2 years till she dies around 20-25years. Let's talk about the sorry condition she gets to live in for 6-8 months out of the year. She is tied to a stall area where she is only able to stand or lay and not move much because remember we gotta catch that pee for your wonderful fucking joke of a drug! She has a collection harness always attached to her ass area...NICE! BTW, I raise quarter horses on a ranch in Texas and when the NAERIC claims they are humane to there mares and foals, I guess that is somewhat fair but they would have a much better life and those fucking foals wouldn't have to be born if it wasn't for Wyeth needing that pee! Remember the foal or baby for those of you that don't know horse language, is a by-product of collecting the pee from the mare, so every year for 20+ years ALL these mares produce a foal!!! BTW, just to let you city folk know, the wonderful powers that be in Washington(that don't know a donkey from a horse) have shut down the slaughter plants in Texas (2 of them) and there is only one other in Illinois that will soon be shut down so when Wyeth decides to stop making Premarin and Prempro where shall these ranchers ship these 7000 mares/foals and their foals to be born??? Most don't think slaughter should exist but what should be done with old, sick horses or in this case, horses that now have no purpose anymore? Europeans eat horse meat. You may not like it, but it is a delicacy there and it is big business. The slaughter plant that is down the road from us treated the horses humanely and most of the meat went to Europe or to zoos to feed the animals. Now that slaughter plants are shut down MANY horses will be sent to OLD MEXICO and if you want to talk inhumane, take a trip down south of the border and see how they take care of their livestock! Anyway, I was a former pharma rep. and I am in the ranching business so when I see so many horses being used for Wyeth's financial gain and for the risk of women's health it makes me want to puke! BTW, I am no PETA person either, I just think a ranch should be run ethically. Google PMU ranches and then go to the NAERIC.org site and see how they try to promote these horses like they are prized posessions. Give me a break! They have gotten better at caring for them but the drugs are a joke so there is absolutely no need anymore for these horses to have to live this kind of life!
