Horse-drawn carriages constitute a danger to people in vehicles, on bicycles, and on foot, as well as the horses themselves.

At least six people have been hospitalized and three horses have died from horse carriage incidents in New York since 2006.

This means of transportation may have been effective in the 1800s,but it certainly does not belong on the congested streets of 21st Century Manhattan.

The Coalition to Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages seeks legislation to ban this dangerous and inhumane industry from New York City.
