Horse-Drawn Carriages in NYC

Please ask NYC politicians to ban horse-drawn carriages in New York City.

"Many of these horses start working as carriage horses after a lifetime of working elsewhere. Many horses pulling carriages have been injured and killed in accidents, and people have also been seriously injured. The largest city in the country is no place for this outdated business. Major tourist destinations such as Paris, London, and Toronto have already banned this inhumane industry."

I would love to thank Council Member Tony Avella for introducing Ban on Horse Drawn Carriages, Int. 658/2007.
