	Horses and Other Equine Protection

The HSUS

Did you know that thousands of horses in the United States are slaughtered every year for human consumption? Or that one of the most widely prescribed drugs in America, Premarin®, is derived from the urine of pregnant mares? Many horse lovers remain unaware of the cruelties facing equines and what the public can do to protect these animals.
