HEAT WAVE CONTINUES IN NEW YORK CITY
as exploited Carriage Horses suffer
JOIN US FOR A DEMO: NYC has been experiencing a brutal heat wave for several weeks. This may well turn out to the hottest July on record.
According to the law, carriage horses are not supposed to be worked when the temperature is 90 degrees or above. There is no consideration for humidity. But this is not always the case as drivers ignore the temperature and take their horses out - or the ASPCA, the only agency designated to monitor and take the temperature, is not there to do so.
We have proof that drivers have violated the law multiple times with impunity and abandon. But who will do anything about it? Where is the accountability? Please speak out for the horses. Come to a demo to let NYC know that we are not going to take it anymore. We want change.
- When: Thursday, July 22nd - 1:00 to 2:00 PM
- Where: Central Park South and Fifth Avenue (north side)
- Sponsors: Coalition to Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages and Friends of Animals
