Some Central Park Carriage Horse Testimony is Left Behind for the People of the City of NY

Video about crap......very nice)))))) I expected something interesting :D

[RadioReporter01]

If you lived here and knew the issue it would be more interesting.

[androclestipster]

LOL, I have to agree with you my friend. Only shouldn't it be bull******?

[maninwhitedress]

say the word, say the word.

[horsesinnyc]

That particular driver is mental, no joking, she also go to my channel and contact anyone who comments on my page. what a lunatic.

[horsesinnyc]

yes, there was a lot of bull$hit told at the hearing from the industry's side. And they don't even clean up after their horses, why doesn't the city fine the as they fine dog owners?

[RadioReporter01]

Well they're special.

Like the mayor who thinks he's one of "God's Chosen People", these are the mayors chosen money makers.

Even Tony Avella said the IRS should take a look at this as it stinks to high heaven.

All the way from City Hall to 72nd Street. Biiiiiig stink

[askalice50]

Apparently, as "working" animals they're exempt from all other urban animal laws. Gotta ask yourself - why? If I get my dog to perform tricks on the street (with a busking license, naturally) can she then crap with impunity on the sidewalk? After all, she's making money for me....

[horsesinnyc]

good point.

[askalice50]

Feel free to ask that question of someone at your city hall. Let me know what the answer is. My dog is dying to get to work for me. :)

[thedrafthorse]

Then, dear alice, you would have rows of protesters calling you a slave owner and accusing you of starving/beating/kicking your dog before of course you know you sell it to slaughter in dog-eating parts of the world, and that the average life of a poor trick dog was a mere two years before you discarded her. In the meantime, of course, you would be forcing your dog to live in a jail cell and deny her water.

And of course you couldn't possibly love your dog at all, you sick animal abuser!

[RadioReporter01]

If they treated the dog like they treat these horses, yes, there would be protesters.

Sounds like you advocate the beating and starving of dogs for money..

Perhaps a name change to the "Daft Horse" would be more accurate

[askalice50]

Your attempt to counter my sarcasm with sarcasm of your own looks pretty silly.

If I treated my dog in any of the ways you've listed I would deserve the wrath of animal rights activists. Sadly for the horses, the abuses you list are their fate. Dogs endure their own atrocities according to the "use" that too many unconscionable "owners" assign them.

[RadioReporter01]

Huh?

[askalice50]

Reply to dafthorse.

[thedrafthorse]

Oh, c'mon, alice... my point is that it wouldn't matter how nicely you treated your dog, some blithering idiot would start spouting nonsense based on some drivel they READ on the "internets" as opposed to using their eyes to SEE. Just because some animal rights activist says that the horses/dogs/cats/seakittens are treated in a particular way doesn't make it TRUE.

[RadioReporter01]

Listen up Dafthorse. I got into this fight by posting a vid of what I saw with my own eyes, not knowing there was a huge fight going on complete with assaults and insults shouted at women by filthy carriage drivers

So you were saying about seeing for myself? Are you even in NY to making such a stupid comment?

[thedrafthorse]

Dear radioreporter01...

About "thedafthorse"---why is it that you guys always resort to name calling?

P.S. I can see videos, and unlike you, I know what to look for. And yes, I have been to NYC and have seen lots of happy, healthy carriage horses along the south end of the park!

[RadioReporter01]

I'm not resorting to name calling, just stating the truth. You seem to have lost the ability to reason, so I thought that would be a better name.

Of course the carriage people calling me moron and an insult in every one of hundreds of postings along with calling the head of PETA "Newcunt" doesn't matter.

How come you don't say anything about all the insults hurled at us?

And I was right, you're another one talking shit from far away....

[thedrafthorse]

Because I believe it was y'all who started hurling the insults first. And always resort to name calling first, when your reason has been exhausted.

When y'all argue with the tourists and the carriage drivers, you always resort to telling the drivers to get a real job and calling the tourists fat and lazy.

I'm merely telling you that you're just plain WRONG about the carriage horses. WRONG WRONG WRONG. And wrong about horses in general. Horses are the same whereever.

[RadioReporter01]

You really are DAFT DAFT DAFT

[thedrafthorse]

Again with the name calling!

Name me any other profession besides carriage driver where it is socially acceptable to run up to someone while they're doing their job and start slandering them? And it is SLANDER because you're claims are NOT TRUE. Where is your evidence of cruelty and abuse? Besides just your opinion, my friend.

[RadioReporter01]

Again Daft. I was following a felony animal abuse complaint, not confronting them when they are doing their job.

On the stop lies channel, I was attempting to get a carriage that was half in the roadway and the guy with the cam interfered with that

You are DAFT DAFT DAFT

[askalice50]

Your term "blithering idiot" suggests that you have no respect for the opinions of animal rights activists no matter what they say.

I oppose the seal slaughter in my country. No, I haven't been to the ice nurseries. Organisations like HSUS, IFAW and Sea Shepherd get out there and film the atrocities that happen. I thank them for that, otherwise the seals would suffer with no one to defend them.

[thedrafthorse]

Alice,

Perhaps you would like to tell radioreporter that... because he says that I can't know what goes on with carriage horses because I'm not in NYC.

P.S. I do not doubt that there are atrocities that are committed against animals all over the world. My point is that the horses that people scream at in NYC are NOT those animals. The fact that most of the protesters believe completely erroneous things about HORSES makes me think they're not too equine savvy.
