It affects your health, your moods and even relationships. HRT-Hormone Replacement Therapy has been the route prescribed by doctors for their patients that were experiencing the uncomfortable effects of menopause.
However, one of the HRT medications used is called "Premarin", it is distilled from pregnant mare's urine. These mares suffer one pregnancy after another. Then when they foal their babies, the foals are often sent to be slaughtered.
Being a vegan women going through menopause we need to be aware of the sourcing of the medications we take.
Check this site- meatfreezone.org on this page Preventative Medicine and Nutrition Menopause.
The article explores other options for managing menopausal symptoms.
Now put a face to a lovely horse that was saved from the Premarin industry and slaughter.
Lazar was rescued with his twin sister, Zoe, from the Premarin industry. They survived four separate life-threatening issues - They were born twins, born in a pasture that was 20 degrees below zero, taken from their mom at one month old when they needed to nurse, and sent to slaughter where they were rescued at the last minute.
Lazar and Zoe are now happily living at The Gentle Barn an animal sanctuary in California.
