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. Advocates argue the carriages contribute to stress and health issues for the animals, while critics question their place in a modern urban environment. The move, if approved, would mark a significant shift in the city’s longstanding tradition of using horses for tourist rides.
