New York City officials are considering a ban on horse-drawn carriages, citing concerns over animal welfare and public safety. The proposal follows reports of injuries to both horses and passengers, as well as growing public opposition to the practice. Advocacy groups have long pushed for stricter regulations, arguing that the carriages pose unnecessary risks in a modern urban environment. If implemented, the measure would mark a significant shift in the city’s approach to traditional but increasingly controversial forms of transportation.
