Despite spending months forging a deal that fell apart a day before the City Council vote, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio reportedly is not giving up on his bid to limit Central Park’s carriage horses.
A Western University of Health Sciences-led study indicates that while New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is concerned about their welfare, carriage horses that trot the streets around Central Park and other NYC landmarks are not as stressed as the mayor might think.
The American Horse Council has tracked the declining numbers of horse ownership since the early 20th century. Fewer owners means less exposure to horses for the general public.
Mayor Bill de Blasio is pulling back the reins on his plans to quickly get rid of New York City's horse-drawn carriage industry, stung by a recent outpouring of support for the colorful coaches that have clip-clopped their way through Central Park for more than 150 years.
Mayor de Blasio, who promised to ban the horse and carriage industry in one of his first acts as mayor, is now saying he expects to get it done sometime "this year."
Even before his election, Mayor Bill de Blasio declared removing carriage horses from NYC a top priority. Chief among the reasons is that he's declared the practice as cruel and the living conditions as inhumane.
