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.

We're so proud of Kayla, first for her work with us in holding food industry powerholders accountable, and now for giving her first speakout at the National Animal Rights March this last weekend in front of the USDA Headquarters in DC.

In 2024 FFH has dramatically stepped up its efforts to hold food industry powerholders accountable at some of the most important events and conferences around the country, such as the DNC. This video compiles some of the most compelling moments.

Walz/Harris: Please 📷📷📷 raise your consciousness about animals. All else is futile until we stop othering, commodifying and murdering them.
I know you can.

👏🏽We thank @PortJeffNY Mayor Sheprow for making the compassionate choice to *cancel* cruel NYC horse carriage rides at their Ice Festival on Sunday.
We teamed up with Humane Long Island to educate village officials about the horse abuse and dangers. #BanHorseCarriages

MAJOR PROBLEM IN OUR MOVEMENT -- the belief that we are saving animals with our vegan consumerism, and not enough interest in unifying politically
