NYC HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE CRUELTY

Yesterday afternoon, a six-year-old carriage horse named Oreo was spooked by a horn, broke free from his carriage and tore through dangerous NYC traffic for four blocks before being tranquilized and collapsing in front of horrified onlookers. Thankfully, Oreo is now recovering in his stable with minor scratches.
Even though you don't live in New York City, you can still make a difference for the horses by sending a letter to City Council Speaker, Christine Quinn.

Yea so, in that case you could let the horse rest how she likes and wake up a little earlier, make your horse look band new and save her the effort of standing up or being tied to a post. You do know horses run around in groups for a reason? For protection, to stay fit and to be social, not to be ruled by a human who ties them up all night.

Makes me so glad that my horses are kept on pasture and allowed to roam free.

I know there are alot of cases of abuse, but all horse owners are not bad. Im happy to say my horses are happy and in shape , They show pull carts and trail ride.

This is not fair to the horses being taking against their well and making them do stuff they don't want to do. Horses need to be horses. They need wide open spaces to roam around and be free. They also need proper care. This makes me really sad knowing that there are people like this who think it is ok to do this kind of stuff.

How would you like it if someone took you against your well and made you do stuff you don't want to do? That's what these people are doing taking these horses against their well and making them do stuff they don't want to do. Horses weren't meant to entertain us they were meant to be horses.

There's a big difference between "hard labor" and cruelty. God never intended his creations to be abused!

[Avey Owyns]

That's what God created horses for... If you don't believe in God, then you have even less of an excuse to object to using horses for hard labour: survival of the fittest right? By virtue of having the ability to subdue a horse, survival of the fittest grants us the right to do just that.
