End horse-drawn carriages
A horse-drawn carriage ride may look charming, but behind this tourist attraction is a life of hardship for the horses forced to pull it. These sensitive animals are made to haul heavy carriages through crowded streets, loud traffic and vehicle exhaust—conditions that can be stressful, unsafe and completely unnatural for them. Long hours on hard pavement can contribute to painful leg, hoof and joint problems, while breathing polluted air and working in extreme heat or cold can put their health at risk.
Many carriage horses also spend their off-hours in cramped urban stables instead of open pasture, without the freedom to graze, move naturally or socialize as horses need. When they are no longer profitable, some face uncertain futures, including abandonment or slaughter.
A short ride for tourists can mean a lifetime of strain, confinement and danger for the horses pulling that carriage. Recent tragedies in New York City have city leaders poised to make changes that can have lasting impacts. It’s time we end these operations in New York City, please take action today.

An animal abuser who abused a family of dogs had those dogs removed and they are at a shelter. His shady friends just went to the shelter and adopted the dog. Luckily, the volunteers are smarter and followed the friends and saw them returning the dog to the abuser. The dog is back at the shelter after they intercepted. WE NEED STRONGER VETTING PROCESSES at the shelters.
The American President just signed an Executive Order enabling ranchers to shoot and poison the very last wolves in America.
Wolves in America number around 0.5% of their original population, and they are of course vital to the health of landscapes.
Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder threw his microphone in the air mid song. The cable got caught in the stage structure. Eddie’s a practical guy so he scaled the scaffolding, sang a few lines while suspended mid air, then rappelled down the mic cable…& continued the concert!🫡
En #Francia, los dueños de un criadero de perros dejaron a los animales encerrados ante el avance de las llamas.
LOS ABANDONARON y suerte tuvieron los perros de la intensísima labor de los bomberos.
Debería haber consecuencias legales contra estos miserables.
This is yesterday on Skid Row. @nithyavraman since you claim to suddenly care about the animals in Los Angeles - go get these dogs TODAY and pay for their care and then place them in loving homes. This is what we have been doing for years since you refuse to help them. DO IT NOW.
There is no worse airline than @Iberia fucking garbage!! Delay our flight 45 minutes- no explanation, and then can’t hold out international flight after running through the maths airport for 30 min. Got to the gate one min before takeoff. Only in fucking Europe would this happen.
Canadian DJ and producer Deadmau5 (Joel Zimmerman) paid $30,000 in veterinary costs after 27 cats and kittens were rescued from a Milton home and taken to a local shelter.
His donation covered critical medical care, including emergency surgery for a cat suffering from a life-threatening infection.
PETA UK has released footage showing a horse collapsing from exhaustion in Egypt, with workers responding by hitting and kicking the animal until it was forced back onto its feet.
The organisation is calling on Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities to immediately ban horse-drawn carriages, which remain a common feature at tourist sites across the country.
Horses used in the tourism industry in Egypt frequently work long hours in extreme heat, carrying heavy loads of passengers with inadequate rest, food, and water.
Welfare organisations have documented widespread suffering among working horses at major sites including the Pyramids of Giza, Luxor, and other popular destinations.
PETA UK is urging supporters to contact the Egyptian tourism ministry directly and demand an end to the practice. The organisation argues that Egypt's government has both the power and the responsibility to stop the abuse and transition to humane, vehicle-based alternatives for tourist transport.
Does anyone else feel a brief, gutting despair when they pass a dead animal on the road? That quiet "no" at the wrongness of it, a road cutting through their path and ending their lives. And you just hope you never hit one, because you are not sure you could live with it.
THIS MUST STOP AND BE STOPPED NOW.
AS A RETIRED ATTORNEY (PA/CA) I DO NOT GIVE A TINKER’S DAM ABOUT SKID ROW DENIZENS WHO ABUSE THESE INNOCENT CREATURES OF GOD.

Apparently this ass hole was on his way to the shelter, where the dog was dumped with multiple injuries, and he is now in a medical ward. His name is west, and we have to make sure he finds love❤️
And that his abusers face justice.
"YOU WANT TO SIT IN THAT HOT CAR?": A woman was arrested for animal cruelty after officers rescued a dog left inside a hot car in Lady Lake for at least 40 minutes, according to authorities. https://t.co/fa9ohtnhI1
