| Interesting, IMO it's all about money - real estate. |

Location: KY | Have been following this situation on facebook. The ARs are in cahoots with the real estate people and it is a real mess. Watching to see how it will play out. If deBlasio is able to get rid of the carriage horses, then what is next? A lot of service animals could go too, such as police horses and so on. Animal rights are out to get all animal ownership by humans banned. I don't understand why.....if they don't want to have animals, no one is forcing them...... There is a lot of very heated rhetoric.....worth watching...... |

Location: KY | Edita Birnkrant, the New York director of Friends of Animals, likened the horses’ working conditions to prison.“They are shackled into their carriages, pulling through streets of a chaotic unnatural environment and go back to their cells,” she said. “They need the ability to graze and roam freely. They never get that in New York. They live a life of total confinement, day after day.”check out this woman: she has no credentials; does not have gainful employment; is she from the born wealthy elite? And that makes her an expert on how horses think and feel? Her "charity" is sitting on six mill in assets; have they purchased land for horses to run free on? Well, noooooo |

Location: KY | The radical animals rights people are after all of us who have animals. This situation is still unfolding and well worth watching. I for one am not going "vegan" nor am I going to give up my leather boots and leather tack (altho I admit to owning some biothane and it is really easy to take care of). |
