Smoothie Leaves a Bitter Taste
Regarding
the carriage horse that died two weeks ago, many others and I would
love to see the carriage horses banned from the city. It is a
long-corrupt industry with its cash-only business greasing many palms
in local government. In the meantime, the horses are treated like
garbage, even a recent city audit by the comptroller agrees. The
interaction of animals with increasing traffic has been devastating to
the horses. Enough already! The Coalition to Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages
is trying to get as many people to sign its petition as possible. The
petition can be found at www.banhdc.org.
