Pfizers’ claim that the Premarin family of drugs do no have carcinogenic properties may be proven wrong. A class action lawsuit pending in Canada may prove that the drugs do in fact cause breast cancer in a high number of cases. Investigations may reveal important facts and figures previously uncovered.
Premarin mares are kept constantly pregnant until they can get pregnant no more, cast off and replaced, standing for hours, day after day in narrow stalls, so that every last drop can be captured. Then there are the byproduct foals. A small percentage may find homes but many are cast off like their worn out mothers, often meeting a brutal and tragic end.
