The horse carriage ban is about real estate and political payback ... not about horse welfare.

On February 10th and 11th Clinton Park Stables is having an Open House. Tour the gorgeous stable ... meet the horses and see for yourselves how well loved and cared for they are. Bring your dog along for a ride in Central Park!

... not about horse welfare.

I think the loon Sheila Jackson Lee said that "welfare" is now "transitional living fund."

Jon Stewart smirks? How long has this been going on?

Say it ain’t so, Jon! Nobody likes anybody who smirks while making snarky remarks. At least make the “witty” ripostes with a straight face, like you really believed them.

Libs who consider themselves the apogee of cool hate it when cool people like popular actors disagree with their point of view.

BTW Stewart is a tool.

Bill de Blasio is a filthy, stinking horseophobe! Horses love New York City! It’s just about love! I’ve heard that foul word he uses. Behind closed doors, he calls them “Limp-Wristed Nags”. Bill the bigot! Bill the bigot! Bill the bigot!

I like Liam Neeson as an actor and I think he’s a stand up sort of guy with some common sense.

Liam Neeson had written in protest of earlier efforts to ban carriage horses in Central Park.

“As a horse lover and rider, I am deeply disturbed by the unnecessary and misguided political and extreme rhetoric against the horse-drawn carriage industry and feel obliged to counter this action.”

“The horse-drawn carriage business is an iconic part of this city, employing hundreds of dedicated, hard-working men and women, caring for well-bred, well-trained horses and attracting tourists to New York City for over 100 years.”

“As a proud New York resident, I have personally enjoyed the beauty of Central Park on a daily basis for many years, and these horses are an undeniable integral part of that experience. The notion that a well-nourished horse pulling a carriage through Central Park is considered cruelty may fit in with animal activists’ extremist view, but not with the rest of us. Surely we have a responsibility to protect commerce, especially one with such history, and one I truly feel helps define this city. May pragmatism prevail.”
