Should Horse-Drawn Carriages Be Banned In New York City?
Joining the likes of Fall Out Boy, Rise Against, and The Used, P!nk is the latest musician to raise her voice in support of peta2. The pop star's cause? Urging New York City tourists to boycott horse-drawn carriages. She recently debuted a new three-story-tall billboard in Times Square, which urges tourists to "Buck Cruelty" and "say 'no' to horse-drawn carriage rides" and directs people to a special Web page where people can sign a petition to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in support of a bill that was recently introduced to ban horse-drawn carriages in New York City.
"Every time I see a horse-drawn carriage in a concrete jungle, I point and yell 'animal cruelty' at the top of my lungs to try to make the driver and occupants as uncomfortable as possible. And I'm blessed with an unusually loud vocal box," she says. "It honestly hurts my heart when I think of what those horses must be feeling, as far as anxiety and fear, and how unnatural and wrong it is for these animals to have blinders on, trotting up and down on concrete, while taxis blare and people scream. It's absolutely unnatural and ignorant of us to continue this outdated tradition. What about this is romantic?"
