Trăsurile cu cai vor fi interzise în New York / Organizațiile de mediu susțin că animalele sunt suprasolicitate, se sperie ușor și trăiesc în grajduri necorespunzătoare

New York City will ban horse-drawn carriages starting June 1, 2028, following years of animal rights activism. The decision, supported by the mayor and city council, aims to address concerns over animal welfare. The legislation will be voted on later this month, with gradual implementation planned. Activists argue that horses are overworked and live in poor conditions, while carriage owners defend their practices. The push for the ban intensified after a tragic accident last summer, prompting city officials to support the change. Authorities will assist affected workers in transitioning to new jobs.
