If the ban is approved by city council, the mayor’s office plans to replace the carriages with electric vintage cars run by the same horse-drawn carriage drivers, according to CNN.
Yes, because people will line up to ride in cars they don't want to ride in on a daily basis.
As Tallpine will attest being on or around horses does something to the human soul. (for lack of a better word) Like with dogs there's that sense of teamwork and symbiotic relationship or somehow/somewhat and to a certain extent relying on each other for life.
We don't get that too much these days as work/draft animals have been replaced by the IC engine. And now we have these nuts jobs that don't understand that these creatures live to work. One of my friend's dogs goes almost batshit crazy when he goes and opens his gun safe, thinking that means they are going bird hunting. Another friend owns a horse that will sulk if not ridden at least every other day. The more he's ridden the happier that horse is.
Anywho. I'm guessing that the quoted carriage driver is right. Follow the money.
