CARRIAGE ACCIDENT LAST SATURDAY
NYC - Columbus Circle - not reported by media
At 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 1st, a horse
pulling a carriage in NYC spooked and crashed
at the intersection of Central Park South and
Columbus Circle. We do not know if he was
injured. Eyewitnesses reported that the
horse began
to buck and rear, charging across Central
Park South against traffic. He sideswiped
several cars before crashing.
The media never picked it up!
We wonder how many other accidents like this
one go unreported.
The ASPCA was not present and has not issued
any public statements on this accident or
the unsuitability of mixing slow moving
horse-drawn carriages in traffic and putting
horses at great risk. WHY? This is
an ideal time for them to speak out for the
horses, especially since they were missing in
action at the Mayor's bill signing last week.
The pictures obtained do not show much but
you can see that the car was damaged.
PLEASE COME TO A DEMO FOR THE HORSES
Saturday, May 8th
The activist community in NYC continues to
speak out for the horses. So please join us
to protest this inhumane industry.
