Target: Alvin Bragg, Manhattan District Attorney
Goal: Prosecute the alleged perpetrator for animal abuse and business sabotage, based on the shocking details of Ryder’s case.
Elderly Ryder’s tragic tale, a victim of alleged abuse in NYC’s carriage industry, grips hearts. Viral footage from August 2022 shows Ian McKeever, the driver, allegedly flogging Ryder, a 26-year-old standardbred, during rush hour. The horse, lying exhausted on Manhattan streets, was later euthanized. These alleged acts, not only cruel but also illegal, sparked outrage. The community now seeks justice for Ryder.
Furthermore, McKeever faces accusations of ruining another carriageman’s livelihood. Aydin Kaya alleges his business suffered due to McKeever’s illicit use of his license plate. Such alleged misconduct not only impacted an innocent animal but also a fellow human’s career. These details, disturbing and heartbreaking, underline the need for urgent legal intervention.
For the sake of Ryder, Kaya, and integrity within the carriage industry, demand strict legal action. The alleged abuse and professional sabotage cannot go unpunished. It’s crucial to set a precedent that such alleged behavior is intolerable. The demand is clear: justice for Ryder and accountability for the alleged wrongdoing.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Alvin Bragg,
This letter comes from a place of deep concern and a call for justice. It is about the alleged abuse and subsequent death of Ryder, an elderly horse, and the alleged sabotage of Aydin Kaya’s business by Ian McKeever. This case has not only raised questions about animal welfare but also about the integrity of professional conduct in the NYC carriage industry.
The alleged facts are deeply troubling. McKeever, as per reports, was seen mistreating Ryder, leading to the animal’s dire state and eventual death. This incident not only reflects alleged cruelty towards an animal but also a blatant disregard for the law. Kaya’s business, too, reportedly suffered due to McKeever’s alleged misuse of his license plate, impacting his livelihood and reputation.
We urge you to take swift and firm action. The evidence, as it stands, points towards a grave injustice done to Ryder and Kaya. This situation demands more than mere acknowledgment; it requires concrete legal steps. Prosecute the alleged perpetrator for his actions, providing justice for Ryder and Kaya, and sending a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Just flog this murdering bastard senseless and leave him to die in the street….
Heartbreaking! This poor Horse xxx. USED & ABUSED FOR FUCK KNOWS HOW LONG.. Death Penalty for ALL Animal Torturing, Murdering EVIL SAVAGES.
ANIMALS ARE NOT MACHINES
This method of transporting the public around busy city streets in 2024, by horse carriage, needs to be banned. it is outdated and negligent towards horses. It is no place for horses, who are largely neglected in the first place. I’ve read too often lately of exhausted horses collapsing and dying in the street whilst still in harness. It must be stopped.
Just ban the carriage rides. NO horse should be forced to carry people around in a busy city! It’s inhumane and dangerous. This freak needs to be publicly flogged and then euthanized!!
