There has been a bigger push recently with the death of a horse that ate a toxic plant, and last month an Indian tourist was the first death in 150 years of rides in Central Park.

Is it inhumane for horses to work for humans?
>>
I know it's bait but fuck it I'm bored.

I think in a post cadilac world no one should use horse and carriage unless they have an Amish beard. Seriously why the fuck would you want that when you can have a V8? Leave the horses the fuck alone to graze on grass or some shit.
>>

Is there nothing indians will not try to get ran over or hit by?

Will we ban sulcatas in zoos after an indian man gets rammed by one?
Are trains long for this world?
Is walking without an indian collision prevention device going to be illegal in britain next year?

>maintain safety on the streets
>don’t run into jeets
>>
I want them banned because they shit on the road.
>>
>>5143228
Agreed. But what about the horses tho? Don’t they wear diapers?
>>
Downtown boston does the horses. They fucking stink. There's little buckets under the horse but they don't catch much. I can't picture doing the ride. You can smell horseshit when they walk by. I can't picture what it's like in the carriage.

Also they drop in the street all the fucking time lol. Boston PD and DPW are wicked good at getting them moved out back and shot before too many people notice.

Yes anon, in 4,200 years this is the FIRST time it has happened.

These horses are going to the glue factory if the bill passes anon, there's no farm upstate waiting for them.

>>5143290
Jesus bro, do yourself a favor and never leave the city if a little bit of horse manure affects you that much.
I got dropped off at my grandparents farm every summer as a kid, and the people across the street had horses and cows. After a while you hardly notice it, and then when you smell it again its not a bad smell.
Cows and horses anyways. Pig shit stink and no one ever gets used to it, you just forget that everything doesn't smell like pig shit.

Why does society have to cater to the lowest common denominator? A retard got trampled by a horse and now we need to get rid of horses.

Nothing says multi ethnic like growing up in the farm belt in the 80's you retarded beantown mudd blood potatonigger, pats suck, celtics suck, sox suck and ben franklin said boston was for the people not faggy enough to live in new york. Now go paaahhk tha caaaah in thaaa haaahvaaahd yaaahd.
But seriously, don't leave the suburbs, your head would explode if you ever got anywhere near farm country and weep that you didn't get to finger bang 4H chicks under the bleachers during a livestock auction. Shit is cash.

Good morning sir

>no bro you see if you get used to the stink it doesn't stink anymore dude
Okay cool go get used to your own stench somewhere far away from civilized society I guess.
>>
>>5143217
I mean I would ban them because of the horrible treatment. They work the horses to the point of exhaustion and then beat them to get up. There's tons of videos on youtube of horses too hot or exhausted to stand and some shit head faggot is whipping them to stand up. The horses don't get transported out of city either, they just get stuck in a building in the middle of town with a tiny window they stick their head out of. Some horses spend their entire lives never setting hoof on grass.
>>
>Is it inhumane for horses to work for humans
Not at all, but the working conditions of these city horses is unequivocally inhumane, not easily fixed through regulation given the nature of the job they're performing, environment they're performing in, and types of people who are working alongside them, and entirely unnecessary.
>>5143463
They also don't acclimatize particularly well to the city environment, and separate from the numerous issues it causes for the horses, it's a nuisance for locals as well.
>>
>>5143409
It's one thing to have shit in a pasture or stall, it's a whole 'nother thing when you have to drive over it
>>
>>5143217
that's what he gets for eating horse shit instead of sacred cow shit. a brahim would never make that mistake
>>
>>5143229
There's a tarp thing that catches the poop.
>>5143483
>but the working conditions of these city horses is unequivocally inhumane
It's only as inhumane as the city is to humans. Which is extremely.
>>5143519
As much as I dislike NYC, I've never noticed horse poop on the streets, whether driving or walking. The thing under their asses meant to catch the poop seems to do the job well enough.
They do however still stink. I mean, NYC in general stinks but horse shit cuts through like nobody's business.

the alternative to working for humans is not existing

if you think not existing is the correct alternative to inhumane existence you need to not exist

It's pretty slimy they are milking the family to advocate for the ban after an extremely rare human fatality. Apparently the dad's story has changed since it happened too.

The main group supporting the bill is animal rights org NYClass, and coincidentally it was founded by a real estate mogul. So some think it's really just a front to seize the stable property.

Indians will willingly milk any sort of personal tragedy for personal gain. NYClass is probably paying them a really pitiful amount and they wholeheartedly agreed to it.
>So some think it's really just a front to seize the stable property.
That is entirely par for the course in NYC. 100000% believable and not even the worst way that people have used to seize land in the past.

I know this is common tactics for pushing legislation, I guess I'm just annoyed at what transparent weasels they are being, and most of their useful supporters don't see it or don't care.

The original bill was called Ryder's Law named for an elderly horse with health conditions that collapsed. Okay, that makes sense. But if they're trying to pretend it's about the horses, they shouldn't have immediately renamed the bill over a freak accident involving a foreign tourist, who PAID and supported the "abusive" ride. Comically, we all know his home country India is far from known for being an animal paradise. 5 million stray cattle, 30 million stray dogs eating garbage on the streets. Elephants being whipped to perform. Maybe the family did do something that freaked out the horse (still being investigated).

So now a random Indian national's name may be enshrined in NYC law forever over this.

They are REALLY reaching to call this a death "caused by the horse" I assumed this guy was trampled to death from the headline.

It's easy to see the horses obeying traffic rules better than the cyclists/pedicabs/escooters.

because they're controlled by a human dumdum. let a horse wander free in a road see how well it obeys traffic laws

>>
>>5144468
it's just them so ofc they're going to be more loose with the rules. the carriage driver has to proctor an animal that weighs 2 tons.

but i know you already know all this. you just wanted to seethe over cyclists.

Do you think the food you buy at the store came from a horse-plowed field?

Farmers are mostly just thralls for agribusiness which has achieved near-soviet levels of planning and centralization. They have to keep them "family owned" on paper to keep the subsidy gibs coming in. A responsible country would have nationalized the agriculture industry instead of sinking billions of dollars into their ethanol corn scams but amerifats are retarded.
