"City Carriage Horses Face Crisis: Drivers and Passengers at Risk. A disturbing trend is unfolding in New York City, where the safety of carriage drivers and passengers is being put in jeopardy by the city's iconic horse-drawn carriages. According to NYCLASS Executive Director Edita Birnkrant, multiple incidents have resulted in serious injuries and near-fatal accidents, sparking concerns about the welfare of both humans and animals involved in the industry. As the city grapples with the issue, advocates are calling for reforms to protect those at risk and ensure a safer experience for all."
"This has happened so many times, carriage drivers have been injured and nearly killed, passengers have been injured and nearly killed," said NYCLASS Executive Director Edita Birnkrant.
