Fate of Horse-Drawn Carriages in Balance

Submitted by Jill Weitz, Nov 29, 2007 12:00

Ms. Daly, the spokesperson of the carriage horse industry labels people who are in favor of a ban of horse-drawn carriages "extremists." Considering that the industry is banned in London, Paris, and Toronto, then, according to Ms. Daly, the government and people of these three major world cities are extremists. What is extreme is putting 19th century carriages pulled by live animals in the middle of traffic in a 21st century city!
