MochetVelo Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Designed to replace the city's horse-drawn carriages.

Rusty_OToole Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Is everyone in New York on stupid pills? Why ban the horse drawn carriages? And if there is a good reason, why replace them with a fake electric car that is 100 years out of date? I can (almost) see the fun in going for a carriage ride through the park with your sweety. But I don't see the point in going in a lousy car when there are better cars available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Walling Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I can see why they would build a large car with plenty of seating and room for batteries and good vision for the passengers, but it doesn't quite replace a delicate carriage ride.

A horse is alert enough not to run you over whether or not the driver is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 According to the news report that I heard, it's the usual bunch of liberal, whining, PETA influenced nitwits who have decided that the carriages "might" be construed as animal cruelty. I mean, after all, who ever heard of hitching a horse to a wagon???:confused: The fiends!!!This is the same, uber PC, mindset that complained when people, who work in that famous fish market in Seattle, toss the fish across the store to each other. They said it was demeaning to the poor fish. I guess cutting their belly open and ripping their guts out wasn't demeaning, but tossing them is. Poor little fishies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Bottom line, the stables that the horses are housed in are on land that the liberal mayors friends want to develope. New York will look like Detroit if they get their way. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
