You guys dont ride horse and carriages.... they are cruel.... :popcorn:

PETA wants them all gone now.
 
i dont get it but then again im probably in violation of some peta views.. starting with my mink fur underwear to my dog who i put antlers on at xmas its just cruel
 
depends on the situation...if they are bein made to carry a heavy weight and being 'driven' stupidy then yea but not for people like me that has done shows and where there is no danger to the horse, with an ultra light carriage and just my weight...this was before i had a baby and was 5stone lighter lol
 
What a bunch of tools. Id hate to see what they think about the KY Derby and horse racing in general. Id bet theyd poop a brick if they see a horse break its leg and then its killed on the spot!
 
cut the work hours of the horses.. check up on them...but for goodness sake don't take them away... people love those quaint carriage rides through central park.. there are enough horses that are going to slaughter.. training for buggy and carriage rides is wonderful for a horse.. i cannot believe they would mess with this when theres so much else they could do to help animals.....

Thats pretty obvious, no? I think most people who aren't around that would be disgusted with it. Its completely a matter of opinion, and its pretty clear that its not exactly easy on the animals. And they are being killed for what? Your enjoyment? C'mon...

Thats the problem here, they aren't being checked on or taken care of responsibly. People are getting hurt, and its all in the name of personal pleasure. If it can't be done right, should it be done at all?

Yep. If they are not going to take care of them right, they they really ought to not use the carriage.
Horses are not meant the pull a load around for hours in the heat, on pavement, around traffic, other animals and ect.
I saw an animal precinct once where they had to force people to bring their horses in a stop driving them for tourists.
