Mamdani getting things done yet again.

NYC mayors and city councils have been 'trying' to do this for decades. Mamdani steps in and actually fucking gets it done.

She has driven a carriage in Manhattan's most famous park, pulled by her horses, for six years. But since Lawson heard about the city's vote this week to outlaw the carriages over animal and public-safety concerns, she has been worried.

"What am I supposed to do with my horse?" asked the 28-year-old about her current horse, Starlight. "You're going to tell me I can't work with her anymore? How am I supposed to ensure her health my bank account balance?"

FTFY

Yeah, right? Unless she's commuting several hours a day with a horse trailer, that thing permanently lives in gutted out apartment or small warehouse. It hasn't had grass under its hoofs ever and it barely gets to see it because of the blinders. So healthy. Probably can't run well or for far because it just doesn't know open space and roam.

I hope they send them all to a farm where they'll run around all day and be happy. But actually. A real farm. It could happen that way.

The union also raised concerns about a lack of funding for individuals and organisations who eventually take in the horses. It argued that thousands end up at slaughter auctions each year.

The bill forbids selling horses for slaughter or for similar work. Carriage owners would be allowed to keep their horses if they choose, said Menin.

I hope they all have healthy happy golden years.

Thousands of horses would not end up at slaughter every year if they were not bred to be exploited.

I understand the reasoning but using blinders seems too cruel to me

You know what they say about dating a horse girl? You will always be third place behind their horses and their daddy's money.

You know what they say about dating a horse girl?

In my experience:

  • "She's not real."
  • "My Little Pony isn't for people your age."
  • "You need to start looking for a job."
  • "Applejack and Princess Luna aren't your waifus."
  • "Listen, we know about the jar."

I remember going to NYC and thinking "where do the horses go when not working?". I could Google it. I'm sure it's close to the 1900s

Use a better search like Duckduckgo or bing, googol sucks and was never any good.

You must be too new to remember the early days of search engines

Google was miles ahead of Ask Jeeves and the handful of other options that existed in the '90s

Shame to see them fall so far
