Who gets to decide what is animal-cruelty?

There are groups of vocal and politically connected animal rights activists who want to ban horse drawn carriages in New York City. They say it’s abusive for draft horses to pull buggies.

Yet every equine expert who has examined the horses and inspected their stables say the horses are happy and well cared for.

What did the experts say about the ones who dropped dead from exhaustion or were hit by cars?

“Equine experts” defend horse racing.

Barbaro?

i told you - local people deciding in their own communities voting on it.

whatever they decide, others will know and it will either be a positive or negative for them. as with anything.
