Businesswoman Angela Simmons is taking a stand against the horse-drawn carriage industry in her open letter to Councilmember Mark Weprin.
STORY: Angela Simmons PETA Ad Outtakes
In the letter, Simmons discusses the mistreatment of horses by the industry and urges the councilmember to join New Yorkers for Clean, Livable & Safe Streets and the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in passing the Intro 86A legislation.
The legislation would phase out horse-drawn carriages in the city and would secure the horses’ safe retirement.
Angela also provides the councilmember an alternative method of transportation for tourists among these methods, including electric vintage-replica tour cars. This solution would be a win-win for both parties.
We hope the Councilmember will meet with Angela soon.
