New York City has proposed a ban on horse-drawn carriages, citing concerns over animal welfare and public safety. The measure follows reports of overworked horses and accidents involving both animals and pedestrians. Advocacy groups have long pushed for stricter regulations, arguing that the carriages pose unnecessary risks. The city’s decision, if finalized, would mark a significant shift in its long-standing tradition of using the carriages for tourism.
