Target: Mayor Eric Adams, New York City, United States
Goal: Ban horse-drawn carriage rides and replace them with electric or human-powered alternatives to improve animal welfare.
Horse-drawn carriages have been a part of the tourism industry in New York City for decades. However, this traditional practice has come under scrutiny due to concerns about animal welfare. The horses that are used to pull carriages often work long hours in busy and noisy streets, which can lead to stress, injury, and illness for these exploited animals. The usage of horse-drawn carriages for tourists in New York City must be outlawed right away.
We can provide tourists dependable, sustainable solutions while also encouraging the usage of green transportation by implementing electric or human-powered alternatives. Horse-drawn carriages can be replaced with bicycles or electric vehicles that are more eco-friendly and efficient, without sacrificing the charm and uniqueness of the experience.
Demand that the use of horse-drawn carriages for tourism be outlawed and replaced with electric or human-powered options.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mayor Adams,
I am writing to urge you to advocate for the ban of horse-drawn carriages for tourism in New York City and replace them with electric or human-powered alternatives. The use of horse-drawn carriages has long been a tradition in the city, but it is time to consider more humane and sustainable options.
The horses that are used to pull the carriages often work long hours in busy and noisy streets, which can lead to stress, injury, and illness. This is unacceptable and poses a serious threat to their welfare. To address these issues, we must take action to ban the use of horse-drawn carriages for tourism and replace them with electric or human-powered alternatives. This will provide a more sustainable and humane option for tourists while promoting the use of eco-friendly transportation. Electric carriages or bicycles can provide a safer and more efficient alternative to horse-drawn carriages, without compromising on the charm and character of the experience.
We urge you to take immediate action and support the ban of horse-drawn carriages for tourism in New York City.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Horses have always been mans ‘lackeys’ for as long as anyone can remember.
I mean, all the historical battles going back hundreds of years. Almost every soldier rode a horse. Thousands of horses maimed and killed. They were made to go into battle wether they wanted to or not because they had NO CHOICE! Because ‘man’ MADE them!!
One instance – The charge of the Light Brigade. Six hundred soldiers, ( all mounted I believe) charged into the Russian cannons and was a lost cause.
Approximately three hundred and seventy five horses were killed, maimed, or blown to pieces with many dying in agony.
When this charge was made into a film, one hundred and twenty five horse were ‘trip-wired’ ( purposely ‘legged over’) to make filming look authentic! Twenty five horse were killed during this shoot just for the sake of human pleasure.
The Grand National, Britain’s number one horse race. This year three horses had to be ‘euthanised’, again because of mans sadistic pleasure. Horses are NOT designed or intended to jump over two metre fences. Only because they are forced to do so by bloody money making so-called humans. Oh, and because it is a British tradition. Well this fucking tradition should be stopped. Well fuck the horses, we are going to have a good time. Tough luck if any have to be put down!
Most humans will exploit animals for greed. The bastards do not care how they suffer, as as long as they are making money from them.
Well what to say and what to do? I really do not know how animal exploration can be ended as it is too well established. Right now all I can suggest is, if possible,
if any act of animal abuse or suchlike is spotted and you feel strongly about this, give the arrogant bastards a taste of their own medicine so the arseholes know what it feels like!
It’s the only way we are gradually going to stop these wankers in their tracks as they are normally cowards anyway.
Absolute power, to anyone who feels the same!

WELL SAID
If the lazy, stupid, mother-fuckin’ people would just stop riding in these horse drawn carriages, the carriage people would go out of business. But the fuckin’ idiots won’t quit riding in them because the dumb fucks think it’s romantic. I wonder how many of them would think it was romantic if they were harnessed up and had to pull someone even one block in a carriage? Most of the worthless bastards wouldn’t make it one block before they would have a heart attack. And that would be a good thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quit taking carriage rides – then they will go out of business and the horses will get to go home – this is not the 1800’s anymore. Carriage horse are abused and not taken care of either!! This should have been banned years ago!!
This is an excellent start. Next, we need to tackle horse tripping in Mexico and Bull fighting in Spain!
Right on brother. You have just said what thousands of ‘normal’ people are already thinking.
As for so-called ‘Bull fighting’ the only winners are the ponced up bastards who go by the name of bull fighters!
A total load of bollox as the bull will never win.
I mean, the poor bugger stands no chance as it is drugged and then lanced by a mounted stevedore I think the bastards are called. That is, having around four barbed lances driven into it’s shoulder muscles to weaken them so it’s head will drop down. These horses often receive very serious injuries from the bulls horns.
This then after playing the bull for some time to look good in front of his audience, makes it easier for the prick in his tight fitting glossy costume to drive the sword into his heart I believe killing it in agony.
Odd times some of these ‘poncing’ bastards do get ‘tossed’ or sometimes badly injured which means the unfortunate bull will be terminated anyway.
This NOT bull fighting, it is bull murdering and the Spanish government or whatever they are fucking called should be ashamed letting this torture continue.
As for the sick bloody tourists who clamour and pay to watch these atrocities shame on you, you are as bad as the bastards who organise these so called events.
Yet another murder game for people’s sick pleasure and a money maker for the bastards who organise these supposed fights.
These bastards need to be put into the ring with the bull and then see who ends up winning.
People are tossers who will exploit animals all the time for money.
Arseholes all of them.
Horse drawn carriages must be made illegal all over the world. It is very cruel
SHAME ON YOU. GREAT FAT IDIOTS, IT WOULD DO YOU ALL GOOD TO WALK. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO , NO, NO EXCUSE FOR THIS.
SELFISH, GREEDY, SELF-CENTRED MORONS WHO MAKE ANIMALS DO THIS AND HAPPY TO TAKE THESE IDIOTS AND THEIR MONEY.
STOP THIS NOW!! SHAME ON ALL OF YOU INVOLVED IN THIS. YOU ARE A DISGRACEFUL SO CALLED HUMAN-BEING.
THESE ANIMALS HAVE MORE SENSE THAN YOU WILL EVER HAVE….YOU PROVE THAT EVERY DAY.
STOP THIS NOW!!
Bullfighting…..these HORSE carriages….ALLLLL. TO ENTERTAIN FRIGGING HUMANS …..I really wish the tables were turned and the yoke was on human necks….fuckkkkk
