Un oraș din Italia renunță la trăsurile trase de cai după ani de controverse. Cu ce vor fi înlocuite

In Palermo, Italy, local authorities are phasing out horse-drawn carriages to protect animals and modernize tourism transport. This decision follows years of debate about the treatment of horses used for tourism. The local council approved an amendment to convert existing licenses for horse-drawn carriages into permits for electric vehicles. The mayor described this as a significant change aimed at ending the exploitation of horses. The transition will take about a year and will involve several administrative steps. While horse-drawn carriages are still present in other Italian cities, Palermo's decision may influence future discussions on this transport method elsewhere.
