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

At the entrance to Central Park, a carriage horse dropped what appeared to be some of the testimony heard at City Hall by the lobbyists and paid liars of the industry at the recent hearings.

At one point the industry was told they faced IRS scrutiny for numbers like 300,000 rides, $15 million in cash and some suspicious paperwork, lacking in the ability to not be laughable.

Now there's a certain ponytail who has threatened me for the same thing. Told me he was going to visit me in Strawberry Fields with some vague threats.

The homeless I minister to have all been shown his picture as have others with the provision that if they see him within 3 feet of me they can use as much force as necessary to effect a citizens arrest.

I needed a picture of him face down at gunpoint in the middle of 72nd Street, but I guess he's been too busy counting CASH and abusing horses to make good on the threat.

Probably better for both of us.

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.

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.

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]

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]

You really are DAFT DAFT DAFT

[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]

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]

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]

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]

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.
