~Spirit of the Imprisoned~

---PLEASE READ BEFORE WATCHING--- This is indeed an important video. I am an animal rights activist and this is one of the many causes I am passionate about: the NYC Carriage Horse Industry. Besides the fact that horses and traffic don't mix, it is a potentially dangerous situation when a carriage starts moving in the congested streets of New York City. Accidents and deaths, of horses and people alike, have occured. Aside from that, the carriage horses cannot relax, rest, freely walk or run, or feel grass under their hooves which is essential to their emotional and physical well being. I have combined wild horses and confined horses into this spirited montage. Watch these beautiful creatures run to the song of the Earth and watch them held down by chain and rod. You decide. Carriage ride, folks? In my opinion, I don't think so.

Do you plan on providing the upkeep for the horse after they are banned or will you be attending their slaughter when no one else wants to? Activist never consider what their actions may lead to. Have you considered demanding a portion of the 800+ acres of central park to be used for stabling/pasture and horses restricted to the park? Weird song. Chief Joseph's speech after witnessing the near genocide of an entire country? I don't get the relation to a horse. Wild horses? THAT is a rough life!
