PAOV — Horse blood farms in South America are repeatedly impregnating mares, only to extract their blood for a powerful fertility hormone and abort their pregnancies. This hormone is then sold to countries like Canada and injected into other animals to boost meat production. Horses who survive are so weakened they are no longer able to become pregnant and are left to die in fields or shipped to slaughter. If you want to put a stop to this cruel practice, add your name.

Although bleeding one’s victims until they are emaciated and weak may sound like the horrifying work of vampires, many will be surprised to learn about a very real industry in South America that preys on the blood of horses in order to turn a profit.Horse blood farms in Argentina and Uruguay collect blood from pregnant mares to supply the agricultural industry worldwide with a hormone that regulates and synchronizes the ovulation cycles of pigs, cattle and sheep. This hormone is known as Pregnant Mare’s Serum Gonadotropin (PMSG), and its production is a multi-million dollar international business.
Numerous animal welfare violations have been identified on these blood farms:
- Violent handling of mares during the blood extraction process
- Installations and methods of restraint posing a high risk of injury
- Emaciated and cachectic horses left unattended on vast pastures, as well as weak, dull, lethargic horses
- Sick, injured and lame horses left untreated
- No veterinary supervision or care observed
- Horses dying on the pastures without euthanasia
- Abortions carried out systematically
- Insufficient or nonexistent hoof care
- Lack of man-made shelter or dry resting area.
The tentacles of this gruesome industry have even reached Canada, one of many countries where the product is sold! Please add your voice to a rising tide of opposition against this cruel practice.
