A controversial decision to prohibit horse-drawn carriages in Central Park has sparked strong reactions from both supporters and opponents. Advocates argue the ban improves animal welfare and public safety, while critics highlight concerns over the economic impact on carriage operators and the loss of a traditional tourist attraction. The move follows growing debates over animal treatment in urban settings and the balance between heritage practices and modern regulations. Supporters of the ban point to past incidents involving injuries and accidents as justification for the change.
