Making horses pull carriages is cruel. Horses are forced to travel in extremities such as hot weather, traffic, and the mistreatment from owners. They work long hours without receiving the care that they need. They may develop illnesses or even ultimately death. “There is no way that cities, with their exhaust fumes, hard road surfaces, and busy traffic patterns can provide a humane … the environment for a carriage horse.”—Veterinarian Holly Cheever. Horses are afforded no protection under the federal Animal Welfare Act, so the responsibility of looking out for their welfare falls to local animal control officials. But anti-cruelty laws provide few safeguards to horses, and many humane agencies just don’t have the resources or the time to monitor horse-drawn carriages on a regular basis. -PETA
