New York -- Martha Stewart's daughter and "Apprentice" co-star, Alexis Stewart, has written Mayor Michael Bloomberg a letter urging him to support a citywide ban on horse-drawn carriages.

In a letter written on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Stewart said she was upset by a recent accident involving a horse that ran into vehicular traffic while pulling a carriage home from Central Park.

The carriage driver was seriously injured. The horse, which hit a car, was euthanized.

"As evidenced by this catastrophe," Stewart wrote in the letter, dated Tuesday, "horse-drawn carriages aren't just cruel to the horses who are forced to work long hours in extreme weather conditions while walking on hard pavement and inhaling exhaust fumes all day long; they are equally dangerous to riders, drivers, pedestrians and motorists."

Rusty?

Hey Alexis, if the horse wasn't pulling a carriage and working chances are it would be glue by now. A fate worse than death?

what ever you do, dont strike a match.

Martha must be very proud. She raised her kid with money, privilege, the best schools, the best of everything, and all she produced was . . . another moonbat.

That's all I needed to read.

"horse-drawn carriages aren't just cruel to the horses who are forced to work long hours in extreme weather conditions while walking on hard pavement and inhaling exhaust fumes all day long"

I think somebody's been inhaling a few too many "fumes"...

[saveliberty]

it would be funny if the carriage owners had a counter appeal to ban Alexis Stewart

[HEY4QDEMS]

cruel to the horses who are forced to work long hours in extreme weather conditions

Sounds like illegal aliens.

[GSWarrior]

Wonder how many horses she has owned in her life? She sounds like an expert.

[Vaquero]

Probably like Buffalo Wallow Woman from 'Little Big Man'

[KC_Conspirator]

This is what happens when children have ultra rich parents in a liberal environment - jsut asinine.

[Steve_Stifler]

It's just a little bit ironic that Stewart has chosen to opine about the "mistreatment" of carriage horses when (I think it was a recent Vanity Fair article) documented that her mother has horses that aren't allowed to run outside during daylight because it would affect their coloration.

[wvobiwan]

No, no - PETA's on to something here. I think we should feed these horses to homeless! Where is PETA's compassion for NYC's homeless?!

[atomicpossum]

Okay. Horses that aren't profitable any more will likely be put down that much sooner.

Does PETA really think about their idiocy?

(Notice they don't care about the hack driver, who does everything the horse does and sweeps up its droppings to boot...)

"in extreme weather conditions"

Caused by global warming, which is caused by people using too many cars and not enough horses.

That oughta mess with her mind a little. ;-)

[bigfootbob]

doing the work American horse's won't.

Alexis Stewart is a ding-dong!
