Letters CARRIAGE HORSE HITS CAR Published in the NY DAILY NEWS, Letters to the Editor, January 7, 2006:
New York: Anyone with a heart knows that horse drawn carriages have no place in
this city! The "romantic notion of a ride in a hansom cab, is one that
other big cities have rejected because it is the right thing to do! They
have been banned in London, Paris, Toronto! Horses and traffic, are a bad
mix as evidenced by incident after incident, over the years, in which the
poor horse and innocent people are inevitably the helpless victims. This
unconscionable abuse of the noble horse, dragging overloaded carriages in
the extremes of heat and cold, in traffic snarled streets, is promoted by an
industry with a lobby in City Hall, that has the audacity to have gotten the
support of City Council members Quinn, Gerson, Palma and Recchia, to promote
legislation to limit pedicabs! Give me a break! Zelda Penzel Fair Use Notice: This document may contain
