The simple act of pulling a carriage is not inherently an animal welfare issue; horses were selectively bred for the purpose for quite a few generations. Because a city council doesn’t care to protect their tourist-attracting downtown core from dangerous levels of traffic, these horses and their owners are out of a job? Nobody’s mentioned where the horses are going. Could be a glue factory.
So I fail to see the “good news” part of this article with the information and context provided.
humans have been breeding and raising horses longer than we have been keeping records (or even thought of keeping records, or got the ability to record).
No news good enough for you, huh?
