Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio vowed to act quickly to abolish horse-drawn carriages in the city.

"We are going to get rid of the horse carriages. Period,” de Blasio said in response to a question at his press conference announcing his schools chancellor pick Monday.

“It’s over,” he said.

I wonder if the good mayor thinks it’s inhumane to kill babies in the womb.

[Reeses]

No pulled pork but the food cart has pulled horse.

[Flick Lives]

From the Nanny State frying pan with Bloomberg to the Nanny State deep-fat fryer with the first Communist mayor. Looks like New Yorkers have picked a real winner.

[ZULU]

I don’t think humans should be subjected to it.

Well, not conservative humans anyway.

This HAS to be a joke, right?

[Albion Wilde]

Not buying your “some of my best wife are of color” excuse.

I have no idea what you're saying, how you got there or what you mean

Not only is that not a quote, but it's not even a valid conglomeration of words I even typed

Your a dem reporter ... right ?

Having said that, New York City is no fit place for horses

Can't take my sweetie on a carriage ride around Central Park - Thanks a Lot :( And some folks I like will be OUT OF A JOB. Cretins!

This is just the beginning of the crap this bum will be laying on New Yorkers, but when you freely elect a Communist what else can you expect?

[longtermmemmory]

NYC it finished.

there is NO REASON to do business in NYC.

there is NO REASON to live in NYC.

there are only reasons to leave NYC.

[longtermmemmory]

this story alone will prevent tourists from going and spending money in NYC.

[SoFloFreeper]

:) Destroying business is what Democrats do best.

Bump

[Biggirl]

Time to start “making fun of” Mr. DeBlasio, make him the butt of jokes!

[Don W]

Do you think he has thought that far ahead ?

[hattend]

Off to the glue factory.

Or nearest restaurant

[Dr.Deth]

You know it’s coming....an open top electric carriage with amplified electronic clip-clop sounds and synthetic Horse manure smells...

I was imagining something more along the lines of

Do you think he has thought that far ahead ?

The average Communist, son, doesn't take a dump without a plan.

Hey, this is the modern age.
Solar powered carriages, maybe ones that plug into
fitness centers where thousands of people riding
stationary bikes charge them up.

Just think if every fitness center was wired to the grid.

Horses have been work animals and pulling carriages for centuries. Now these horses will be sent to slaughter, who can afford to keep them?
