As we transition to electric carriages it will free horses from the ’round the clock misery and abuse inherent to the carriage horse trade. It will also make streets and neighborhoods where horses once pulled carriages safer for all.”
“We believe electric carriages are the future, and horse drawn
carriages a thing of the past. As we transition to electric
carriages it will free horses from the ’round the clock misery and
abuse inherent to the carriage horse trade. It will also make
streets and neighborhoods where horses once pulled carriages safer
for all.”

“When hansom cabs are mixed with cars, taxis, buses, pedestrians,
bikes and emergency vehicles – fire trucks, ambulances and police
cars – they are a recipe for disaster. Over the years, there have
been many accidents where both horses and people have been seriously
injured and some in which horses have died.”

“We cannot continue to mistake the idea of tradition with animal
abuse. That no longer has a place in Guadalajara; we’ve put a stop
to it today.”
— Mayor Enrique Alfaro Ramírez
