NY Post editorial
As the NY'ers probably know, NYCLASS has been spending mucho $$ trying to get carriage horses banned in NYC. The most frightening part of this whole affair is that it's created a situation where I actually agree with an editorial in the NYPost.
 http://nypost.com/2014/02/09/trojan-horse/ Seriously, this is really frustrating. And it makes you realize how separate most people's lives are from animals, that the absurd accusations of "abuse" are actually getting traction.

I work for one of the vets that was asked to investigate the abuse. He found no abuse and well cared for animals. This is pure politics.

reminds me of the accusations of abuse lodged against a certain thoroughbred retirement facility....cost them a lot of money to fight that. they prevailed in the end, the accusations were baseless-but if your attackers can outspend or outlast the target, then what?
it's simply ridiculous. where are these people to say that humans working is cruelty? then i'll talk!

Jon Stewart, who I usually like, apparently made a comment about watching the "sad" carriage horses leaving the stables (they're near his studio) and it made me really think about the total disconnect between people and working animals. I'm no horse expert, but I've spent enough time around them (and around the carriage horses; I used to work near the park) to understand that a lowered head, ears at half mast and a slow pace are not signs of a "sad" horse; they're signs of a relaxed horse. Le sigh.
