The Mayor of NYC is trying to rid the city of the carriage horse. The N.Y. Times Jim Dwyer reports that there are approximately 220 equines living in comfort in sprinkler equipped homes with regular veterinary examinations - and five weeks off in the country annually. Their vacations are spent at a sanctuary in Massachusetts whose owner describes these horses as "well adjusted and selected for their intelligence and their temperament." And these attributes come in handy when sharing space with taxi cabs, limos, Uber cars and jaywalkers. The proposed ban would NOT affect mounted police horses which speaks of some kind of class discrimination. The protest line forms on the left.
