New York City is set to take a major step toward ending the use of horse-drawn carriages, with a council vote scheduled to decide their future. Animal welfare advocates have long criticized the practice, citing concerns over the treatment of horses and public safety risks. The proposed ban would mark a shift in the city’s longstanding tradition, though operators have vowed to challenge the measure. Supporters argue the move aligns with broader efforts to improve animal welfare and modernize urban transportation.
