Why NYC Should Ban HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGES
June 4, 2011
If you witness any sort of abuse concerning carriage horses -- whether direct or a carriage working where it shouldn't, please let us know at coalition@banhdc.org. I may suggest you contact the ASPCA, but it is crucial that you let us know so we can track the complaints.
You must get this information: 4-digit license plate on the back of the carriage; 4-digit engraved number on the left front hoof of the horse- this might be hard to get, in which case, a description of the horse; the time, exact location, description of the driver; describe the incident
============================================================
Horse-drawn carriages constitute a danger to people in vehicles, on bicycles, and on foot, as well as the horses themselves.
At least six people have been hospitalized and three horses have died from horse carriage incidents in New York since 2006.
This means of transportation may have been effective in the 1800s,but it certainly does not belong on the congested streets of 21st Century Manhattan.
The Coalition to Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages seeks legislation to ban this dangerous and inhumane industry from New York City.
