All agree the carriages pose future risk to humans and animals PLUS enormous liability for NYCity, whose politicians watched 35yrs. of accidents and injuries to horses, drivers and tourists.

Another good example of the ethical issues around the DHMH. We really need a Dept of Animal Welfare. The Companion Animal Advocates have been saying this for years.

[NLGNYC Animal Rights Committee ⚖️ @NLGNYC_Animal]

Councilmember @JoannAriola32 asked Deputy Comish Schiff yesterday: Who did DHMH hire to independently evaluate the health of NYC carriage horses?
Schiff wouldn't name names.
We will.
Dept. Health Mental Hygiene awarded the contract to 2Xs suspended Camilo Sierra of Northport, LI.

And she also investigated the original NYC ACC Contract when she chaired the contract committee. All of animal advocates really need to get together and form a political block. We need a major escalation for animal issues.

Kathryn Freed @ the mic.
Retired judge.
Equestrian.
Frmr. New York City Council Member (1992 - 2001).
She introduced carriage horse regulation (Int 811) in the 90s.
"For 35 years the industry didn't get it together," she testified. "35 years is long enough."
Couldn't agree more.

@RisaLombardo @SwingGary2 Selling MAGA merch one day, hijacking the Green Party ballot line the next. @RisaLombardo's gubernatorial run gives a whole new meaning to "political recycling." ♻️🐘 No wonder the AZ Green Party disavowed her as a "sham." #AZGov #Arizona

By Friday, temperatures will soar to ~100° F.
Who wants to bet that another NYC carriage #horse will collapse from the heat?

@NYCMayor, please respect the Mahajan family and protect against further incidents by suspending the carriage horses now while the slower legislative process moves forward.

[Spectrum News NY1 @NY1]

During a vigil Monday, City Council Member Christopher Marte read statements from the family of Romanch Mahajan, an 18-year-old visitor from India who was killed last week after a horse pulling a carriage carrying him and his family bolted through Central Park.

Mahajan’s family condemned the planned resumption of carriage rides this week. They are calling on Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the City Council to ban horse-drawn carriages permanently.

“This is a profound insult to our family and a direct threat to public safety of every tourist and resident in New York City,” the family's statement read.

Transport Workers Union Local 100, which represents carriage drivers and owners, said it has been implementing a series of safety measures in the wake of Mahajan’s death.

“We continue to keep the family of Romanch Mahajan in our prayers. Words can’t express the enormity of this tragedy,” the union said in a statement Friday.

“We are continuing refresher training with drivers today stressing best practices and safety protocols,” it added in a statement Monday.

@NLGNYC_Animal @NYCCouncil It's about time we set the horses free. No more animal slavery. No more animal commodification for profit.

@EYakoby You clearly failed political science.

[Craig Seeman @SeeCraig]

@EYakoby Cuomo's campaign is based on AI and bots. They don't vote.
Real people are being turned out by his 85,000 volunteers, driving a massive GOTV effort. Polls may even be underestimating the younger voter turnout, as they did in the primary.
