New York City is considering a ban on horse-drawn carriages, citing concerns over animal welfare and public safety. Advocates argue the practice subjects horses to harsh conditions, including overwork and inadequate care, while critics highlight risks of accidents involving both animals and pedestrians. The proposal has sparked debate between those pushing for stricter regulations and industry representatives defending the tradition. If implemented, the move would mark a significant shift in how the city regulates this long-standing but controversial practice.
