Petition: Tell EU to Stop Suffering of Pregnant Mares on Blood Farms

“Blood farms” consist of putting mares through a traumatic life as they repeatedly are impregnated and then used and abused for their blood. This is all to get a hormone called PMSG that is found in the blood of pregnant mares. The blood is then processed and used around the world to increase reproduction in pigs, cattle, sheep, and goats.

Finally, in 2021, the European Parliament called for the imports and production of the hormone to be banned by the European Commission, although they have not made a decision. Blood farms are still up and running in many countries, and it is time that this cruel industry comes to an end!

Undercover footage taken at an Iceland ‘blood farm’ by Animal Welfare Foundation revealed horses being hit and struggling in restraint boxes while workers draw blood using a large cannula that is inserted into their jugular vein. The footage also shows broken restraint boxes and enclosures covered in bite marks from the terrified and distressed horses.

Sign this petition to tell the European Commission to finally end the import of the hormone PMSG, its production, and its use in the European Union!
