Liam Neeson narrates:
These horses have a five weeks of vacation mandated every year. They have a full retirement plan.
They can’t work when it’s too hot or too cold.
How many human workers in New York have those benefits?

What is the basic objection to having a few horses and carriages in the park, surely not the slight mess and smell? Yet the mayor sounds sure of himself.
There are sometimes odd traffic accidents involving carriages.
The mayor pretty much got paid off to support his campaign by real estate moguls who want the stable property. They are under the ruse of the Animal Rights agenda to obtain this property to turn it into yet another high rise. The Stables are on the Upper West Side – primo property.
I am all for saving the Carriage horse industry. It is one of the few good things NYC has left.
Absolutely.
I noticed as I was walking through the Park last weekend that the hansom carriage horses looked in such great condition. Better then I remember them ever looking. They seemed to be well fed and well groomed. It would be a shame if the City lost them…
