Target: Mayor Eric Adams, New York City, United States
Goal: Ban horse-drawn carriage rides and replace them with electric or human-powered alternatives to improve animal welfare and reduce air pollution.
Horse-drawn carriages have been a part of the tourism industry in New York City for decades. However, this traditional practice has come under scrutiny due to concerns about animal welfare and air pollution. The horses that are used to pull the carriages often work long hours in busy and noisy streets, which can lead to stress, injury, and illness. Additionally, the horse-drawn carriages contribute to air pollution in the city, which can have negative effects on both human and animal health.
The usage of horse-drawn carriages for tourists in New York City must be outlawed right away. By doing this, the ecosystem of the city will be preserved while simultaneously ensuring the welfare of the horses.
We can provide tourists dependable, sustainable solutions while also encouraging the usage of green transportation by implementing electric or human-powered alternatives. Horse-drawn carriages can be replaced with bicycles or electric vehicles that are more eco-friendly and efficient without sacrificing the charm and uniqueness of the experience.
Demand that the use of horse-drawn carriages for tourism be outlawed and replaced with electric or human-powered options.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mayor Adams,
I am writing to urge you to advocate for the ban of horse-drawn carriages for tourism in New York City and replace them with electric or human-powered alternatives. The use of horse-drawn carriages for tourism has long been a tradition in the city, but it is time to consider more humane and sustainable options.
The horses that are used to pull the carriages often work long hours in busy and noisy streets, which can lead to stress, injury, and illness. This is unacceptable and poses a serious threat to their welfare. In addition, the horse-drawn carriages contribute to air pollution in the city, which has negative effects on both human and animal health.
To address these issues, we must take action to ban the use of horse-drawn carriages for tourism and replace them with electric or human-powered alternatives. This will provide a more sustainable and humane option for tourists while promoting the use of eco-friendly transportation. Electric carriages or bicycles can provide a safer and more efficient alternative to horse-drawn carriages, without compromising on the charm and character of the experience.
We urge you to take immediate action and support the ban of horse-drawn carriages for tourism in New York City.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

If I’ve signed one petition to stop this insanity, I’ve signed a dozen. Adrienne Adams is freaking worthless – I know a lot of the petitions have been sent to her and she does NOTHING! For some reason, no one in any power in NYC will put a stop to this. Makes me wonder who is in whose pockets? There has to be a lot of money exchanging hands or someone knows some good secrets on council members/the mayor to keep this abuse and killing going on.
WAKE UP NEW YORK, WAKE UP SO CALLED `MAYOR`. THIS IS A WICKED, CRUEL THING THAT YOU ALLOW TO TAKE PLACE. I AM FROM UK AND HAVE BEEN TO NEW YORK SEVERAL TIMES AND SEEN THESE POOR ANIMALS HAVING TO DRAG AROUND THESE RIDICULOUSLY HEAVY, YES VERY HEAVY CARRIAGES WITH PEOPLE SITTING INSIDE THEM WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD!!
