[QUOTE="sjr725, post: 407232, member: 4936"] I have good friends in Manitoba that raise horse and collect urine for Wyeth pharmacueticals. If you look at the whole issue from the agriculture producer standpoint you'd never buy into the abuse issue. It would make no sense for a producer to starve, abuse, deny vet treatment to his animals. Healthy, well nourished animals are better producers - no matter what the product. Now that most PMU farms have realized the benefits of producing foals that are a highly marketable product on thier own, they are improving their breeding programs to produce better and better horses. Our friends, have 4 registered Hannoverian stallions they purchased from Spruce Meadows and have 2 of them in the showjumping circuit now. So they may be making more money off the foals than off the urine? Look at the bottom line - with any ag producer it's the $$, and you can't make money starving and abusing your livestock whether it's cattle, sheep, pigs or horses. If you look at the websites, you'll see fat healthy horses living happily all summer on big grass pastures and spending the harsh Canadian winter snug in a warm barn with plenty of hay and good feed. The industry mandates excercise time, feed and vaccination schedules for these horses, and cleanliness and husbandry to very strict standards. The whole "rescue" thing has been blown way out of porportion IMO [/QUOTE]
