Excerpt from article in Daily News
The transit union representing Central Park carriage-horse owners and drivers is suing the non-profit leading the charge to ban the industry, claiming a “pattern of malice” against its members.
The Transport Workers Union, which represents the roughly 200 owners and drivers who operate horse-drawn carriages in Central Park, filed suit against New Yorkers for Clean Livable and Safe Streets — NYCLASS — in New York Supreme Court Monday, alleging the group knowingly spreads false claims in an effort to build support for a ban carriage horses.
“NYCLASS has used unlawful means, including, but not limited to, misrepresentation to the public and third parties, and/or acted with the purpose of harming the carriage drivers and their business, under the pretense of animal rights,” the complaint reads.
The union accuses the non-profit of tortious interference for allegedly attempting to undercut the carriage-horse industry.
The suit is the first legal action to be filed since the Daily News reported that the TWU was gearing up to sue Adams administration officials as well as NYCLASS staff over the ongoing carriage horse debate. Ending the tradition has gained significant political support over the last year, including from the Central Park Conservancy and Mayor Adams.

it’s funny you mention this yesterday I saw where last summer a carriage horse collapsed in the street and they were hosing him down with cold water! Something must be done, but I’m sure the new Muslim Mayor will do nothing.

You're right about Mamdani showing racism. It made the News. Some people prefer to keep their heads buried in the sand.

I don't know what the next Mayor will do on this issue, but as a New Yorker, I've always been against the carriage horse industy. But if they are to keep it as part of the "unique charm" of NYC, I hope they tighten up the regulations to insure the horse are treated humanely and with great care.

I'm for the NYC carriage industry to go on.
But not with the horses.
Use NY felons and have them wear a FATSO Trump suit and Netanyahu mask when pulling the carriages.
Socialist Dems love the animals.
Don't mess with the Zohran! ;D

I agree with you. They obviously don’t watch the news.

Not a thing you can do other than bitch and moan about something you're powerless to change!

MAGAtard? Really because I agree that what Sakit said is true because it is? Mamdani made front page news for him claiming that White People/Neighborhoods will be taxed at a higher rate. But go off and stay ignorant
I dont live in or anywhere near NYC so I truly am out of fucks to give about Mamdani or the shit hole of NYC itself.

Take your city and add New York and that's where you're from, some hicky NY state garbage pail.
Only people from the city can say straight out I'm from NY.
All MAGAs are dummies, that's not Mamdani's fault.
Mamdani is a thousand times smarter than Trump, so is a mule though.

Now that you clowns are done. Here's the real story as of right now. This years version of the bill to end the carriage horses in NYC was never going to see a public hearing. Blocked by Council Speaker Adrienne Adams all year. Bottom line like all these promises Mamdani is making everything has to pass through City Council before any Mayor can sign it into law. We knew the bill would time out again and have to be reintroduced in 2026. But to force who is against it Councilman Robert Holden who authored the bill used a never before used by law forcing a sub committee to meet on the bill tomorrow where they will surely kill the bill. It's not open to public statements or any testimony. Just the 11 members of the Council Health Committee who will vote to kill it. We already know the chair of this committee Lynn Schulman who swore she was for the bill is actually against it. So with the new version of the council coming in, a new Speaker who will allow the new version a public Council hearing everything starts over January 1st. But in the mean time the horses still pay the price. Couldn't care less what you people think of me, but I would hope most of you would agree if you've seen how those animals live and are treated it's disgusting. Only way to stop it is literally fight City Hall and a union with very deep pockets.

These fuckers rely on votes, simple as that.
The hearts and minds, animal lovers would seemingly far outweigh in numbers the lobby for the carriages.
So what's the story there, 2 four year consecutive terms is the limit.
They're using a lawsuit to leverage their survival.
Can NY State pass a law banding carriages state wide?
