Target: Mamata Banerjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal
Goal: Put an end to horse-drawn carriages.
Horses being used for horse-drawn carriages in India are suffering. They are forced to pull heavy carriages full of people, even when physically wounded, sick, and hungry. Some horses are whipped as well. These animals pull the carriages in extremely hot weather and have also been seen standing in their own waste. The carriage rides are usually long, which causes exhaustion for the horses and means they go a long time without food and water. PETA India is demanding the end to these cruel conditions.
An investigation found cruel conditions for the horses. Many of them had injuries which could be from being struck by cars, likely while navigating through heavy traffic. It was discovered that they are left to find their own food, and some are abandoned after they can no longer work. They receive no veterinary treatment, leading to painful deaths. They went far too long without food, leaving them extremely thin.
Sign below and demand that horse drawn carriages be banned in India and the horses given proper treatment and care.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mamata Banerjee,
You must put a stop to the tourist attraction of horse-drawn carriages. The horses being used for this are put through harmful conditions like lack of food and water. This leads to exhaustion and can even lead to their deaths. They are not receiving proper medical treatment and are being forced to work.
Horses do not deserve to work in these harmful conditions. We demand alongside PETA India that the cruel conditions these horses are suffering from the carriage rides are stopped.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

This is so heartbreaking and sickening. This ugly treatment of the innocent horses must be stopped now. There is no excuse for inhumane treatment to any animal.
PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR HOOVES!!!!
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON ALL OF YOU…THOSE WHO DO THIS AND THOSE WHO GO ON THE RIDES. YOU ARE AS BAD AS EACH OTHER. WICKED, CRUEL ACTIONS AND YOU ALL KNOW IT.
KARMA WILL FIND YOU AND YOU WILL BE PUNISHED…..FOR SURE….YOU PEOPLE ARE TRULY WICKED, EVIL AND DISGUSTING…NOW STOP THIS EVIL ACT
Have you heard about CARS, motors and all the wonders created to LEAVE HORSES ALONE ??!!
Agree all comments beat these fuckers to death. NO EXCUSE FOE ABUSE STOP NOW DONT NEED HORSES . Laws need to change and stop this cruelty do the same to these mongrels make them pull heavy carts and beat them.
SHAME ON YOU!!!~!!~ EVIL AND CRUEL! STOP THIS NOW!!!~ YOU ARE PURE EVIL !!~!
What is wrong with the people who get in these carriages?? Do you not look at the poor abused animal who will give you an hour of pleasure for his life of misery. You and the drivers disgust me. I hope you rot in hell.
Further…Our countries were built on the back of beautiful horses. THEY SHOULD BE REVERED. NOT WHIPPED, ABUSED ETC
HOW GRATEFUL YOU GREEDY MONGERS ARE! ALL OF YOU INCLUDING THOSE THAT RIDE IN THE CARRIAGES!!!
SHAMEFUL DISGUSTING….
CRUEL PEOPLE!!! I hope it will go back to you!
Further….Ban these carriage rides and send the horses of each country on earth to their countries sanctuaries!!!!!!! THIS WHAT THEY DESERVE!!!!!
All those who are abusing, starving, killing these poor totally innocent animals should be forced to take their place pulling the carriages, being starved and thirsty and definitely being whipped – for the rest of their compassionless, cruel lives…IN MY OPINION
This FILTHY and SHOCKING “business” must END! Horses are majestic, intelligent and complex creatures. An enslavement and ruthless exploitation of the horses is shockingly disgusting.
Horses belong to GREEN PASTURES and not warm cities where they must navigate through heavy traffic. In addition, these horses are hungry, thirsty, thin and receive no veterinary treatment, leading to painful deaths.
The horses shall be sent to accredited sanctuaries.
Animals shall NOT be VICTIMS of human sadistic psychopaths!!! Tourists who use these poor animals are EVIL!
3rd world cunts, I mean Countries! STOP this abuse NOW!
