Pity the horses
July 26, 2007 – NY Daily News
Glen Oaks: Does New York City not claim a stellar standard of
sophistication? Are New Yorkers not a compassionate people? How then, in the
21st century, can we justify the servitude of horses for the sole wretched
reason of hauling human cargo? (All in the name of a tourist attraction?) How
can we justify the misery of the horses' sad and dangerous days - in living and
working conditions dispiriting and disgraceful?
- Judy Purcell
Kalamazoo, Mich.: Thank you for the article "Say neigh to carriage
horses, activists cry" (July 12). Horses and traffic do not mix. This is 2007,
not the 1800s. Horses do not stand a chance against fast, heavy cars. Also, the
temperature extremes are dangerous to horses. I will not visit N.Y.C. until
horses are off the streets.
