New York City will implement a ban on horse-drawn carriages, citing concerns over animal welfare and public safety. The decision follows ongoing debates about the treatment of horses in urban environments and the risks posed by the carriages to pedestrians and drivers. Advocates argue the ban is long overdue, while industry representatives have expressed opposition, emphasizing the carriages' role in tourism. The move marks a significant shift in how the city regulates traditional forms of transportation.
