Yonkers Teachers Association ad promotes carriage horse rides - Please contact.
The current tv ad for Yonkers Federation of Teachers features a horse-drawn carriage giving rides.
This issue is being challenged all over the world as well as in NYC, where yet another carriage horse collapsed in the street on November 27 - see short video - https://tinyurl.com/ybggycpg
Carriage rides aren't 'romantic' or 'quaint.' They're needless cruelty that should be banned. Teachers should educate themselves instead of promoting this cruel abuse. This pitiful industry shouldn't be 'normalized' and brought to Westchester. For more carriage horse info visit: Coalition to Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages.
Please contact YFT President Samantha Rosado-Ciriello and politely request the YFT terminate all ads and promotion of this and any inhumane animal exploitation.
