INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS
[Ed. Note: To learn more, visit Campaign to Ban Horse Drawn Carriages]
The City Commission in Deadwood, S.D., is reportedly deciding whether to allow horse-drawn carriage rides on Main Street, the town's cobblestone thoroughfare. The general chaos of a main street, rife with loud noises, traffic, and crowds, would be highly stressful for these extremely sensitive, easily startled prey animals with no means of respite or escape.
Subjecting horses to such an ordeal is not only grossly inhumane but also dangerous for everyone involved, with injuries and fatalities being all too common.
The fact that the city also stages gunfights at this location makes matters all the worse.
The horses need your voices now!
Thank you for everything you do for animals!
