Rome Has Banned Horse-drawn Carriagea, Time for NYC
Stop Horse Drawn Carriages

FROM Edita Birnkrant
December 2020

On December 2, Rome BANNED horse-drawn carriages from all city streets in order to protect the welfare of the horses after years of campaigns and protests from activists about their abusive and dangerous conditions.

Rome Mayor, Virginia Raggi, said, "You will never again see tired horses on the streets of the city during the hottest hours of the summer months, because we have expressly forbidden it."

Roman carriage drivers will only be allowed to operate inside historical parks.

New York Daily News published my letter December 5 about Rome's ban on carriage horses operating on any streets and the need for NYC leadership to #BanHorseCarriages:
