A growing number of New Yorkers are calling for an end to the iconic horse-drawn carriages that have long been a staple of Central Park. According to a recent poll, a majority of city residents now support banning the horse carriages from the park, citing concerns over animal welfare and public safety. The poll, conducted by CBS News, found that a significant portion of respondents believe that the horses are subjected to harsh conditions and that the carriages pose a risk to pedestrians and other park-goers. As the debate over the horse carriages continues to heat up, city officials are likely to face increased pressure to take action and find alternative solutions for the city's tourism industry.
