  • Our friends, the Horses !
    The carriages drawn by horses to walk the tourists through the city are almost in all countries of the world. In Morocco, we find them especially in the town of Marrakesh, in the famous Place of Jamaa El Fna. In Egypt, there are many carriages, particulary in Assouan City...
    I adore to cherish and to speak to the horses and I like walks in carriage. I feel that the horses do the job they like : being in contact with the man !
    It's obvious that the authorities of a city have to take care of the hygiene of the horses. Any carriage's owner who maltreats his animals, was to see his licence withdrawn for a certain number of months !

Description:

Horse drawn carriage rides around New York City's Central Park are a popular tourist attraction, but animal rights protesters are pushing to ban the rides. Friends of Animals, a New York-based group, argues that the noise and other distractions of the city are harming the horses' health. They also say the horses are not properly cared for. Legislation recently introduced in the New York City Council calls for ending the rides. The carriage drivers reject the criticism and say 400 jobs would be lost if the legislation passes. Nathan King reports from New York.
