A growing movement is seeking to ban horse-drawn carriages from New York City's iconic Central Park, sparking a debate over animal welfare and the city's tourism industry. The campaign, led by animal rights activists, argues that the carriages pose a risk to the horses' health and well-being, and that the industry is often plagued by allegations of mistreatment and neglect. Proponents of the ban point to the grueling conditions horses are subjected to during the hot summer months and the long hours they work, often without adequate rest or care. As the city grapples with the issue, the question remains: who speaks for the horses and what does their future hold in one of the world's most famous parks?
