'Peta's in a hoof' Published in AM NEW YORK (www.amny.com)
9/25/06: Thank you so very much for covering the latest carriage horse death in
NYC ('Peta's in a hoof' 9/22). You note Mayor Bloomberg's position that carriage horses are 'monitored
by city agencies and animal welfare leagues - ' which is the position of
every single animal exploiter, including rodeos, animal-user circuses and
factory farms; yet and still, calves DIE in rodeo events, circus animals DIE
in sweltering boxcars, chickens DIE being boiled ALIVE AND CONSCIOUS in
factory farms and horses DIE while dragging carriages through crowded
streets with their faces in front of exhaust pipes...all while under the
supposed 'watchful eye' of the city agencies. So don't cite the city
agencies, Mike, they are worthless. And the 'animal welfare agencies' he
refers to - the ASPCA - plays it safe and conservative; but even they favor
a ban that would keep these poor animals at least within the confines of
Central Park. Kiley Blackman Fair Use Notice: This document may contain
