>What I see as the main issues are: 1) how the mares are kept during the
>collection process
the mare´s are roaming free in pasture/field with
salt buckets and lot´s of water during the time
they are taken blood from them. And then the
veterinary come´s one´s a week and all the mare´s
are put in a pen and thoose that are healthy and
pregnant with the right amount of hormon will go
on into stable where the vet. will take blood
from the mare´s and afterwards they are let out
in the field again untill next week and it only
take´s a few mininuet´s (spelling !?).
> 2) what happens to the unwanted foals that are a
>by-product.
the unwanted foal´s that are not sold will be slaughtered.
