Everyone knows why it collapsed. It was also severe underweight, elderly and working in the heat. Stop defending this cruel practice that is continued because a bunch of weirdos without animal knowledge can’t be bothered to get a real job. Pulling tourists in a horse carriage around nyc is not a real job

The owner had purchased this horse months before from an Amish auction. The horse was severely underweight and clearly elderly. The owner then didn’t seek medical care for the horse that was suffering a brain condition from inhaling rodent droppings. The owner then put this thin, sick elderly horse to work in 100 degree heat. The owner should not be allowed to work with horses if the owner is so dumb he can’t see what a lay person can see- that the horse was not fit to work. He bought a cheap horse and planned to work it until it died. He sat and played with his phone while nypd revived his horse. The owner shouldn’t get praise for beating a horse that collapsed to get it out of the road when his poor choices led to the horse collapsing. Are you part of this dumb carriage horse union?

And credit cards! Amazingly every medallion cab in nyc seems to have a dysfunctional credit card machine when you get to your destination
