This is what working people get when they elect a Marxist, when they’re not coming after your guns, they’re coming after your livelihood.
New York City Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio has vowed to move quickly to outlaw the horse-drawn carriages that pull tourists around the city’s famous Central Park.
“We are going to get rid of the horse carriages. Period,” de Blasio, who takes office New Year’s Day, said at a news conference Monday. “They are not humane, they are not appropriate for the year 2014. It’s over. So, just watch us do it.”
Great, so now the tourists won’t be able to ride in a carriage, something you can do right here in Chattanooga. And why is DeBlasio killing jobs? Because he cares more for animals than people.
Animal-rights activists say the carriage horses are overworked and claim that the city’s traffic and pollution create an unsafe environment.
“They constantly breathe exhaust while dodging dangerous traffic,” says the website of one anti-carriage group, New Yorkers for Clean, Livable, and Safe Streets (NYCLASS), “confined to the shafts of their carriage and their tiny stable stalls, with no access to green pastures.”
They’re beast of burden, you idiots. What do you want for them? Massages? Human beings breathe exhausts and do perfectly fine. Besides, these animals have been breeding crap since the days of the industrial revolution, it’s no big deal.
“It’s not over,” driver Christina Hansen told the New York Daily News. “You cannot just get rid of a business, a perfectly legal well-regulated … just because a few people don’t like it.
“If (de Blasio) wants to ban them because they’re dangerous and inhumane, he needs to prove that.”
That’s the problem with well-regulated businesses, eventually they can regulate them out of existence. I wish Christina luck, but let’s face it, this is New York City and the Mayor faces little opposition, specially when he’s a commie.
I’m in favor of the carriage ban to end the suffering of animals.
Why not have small Asians pull tourists around on rickshaws? It would certainly help the employment market.
What about all those cops riding horses, are you against them to? Are you a vegetarian or better yet, vegan? Have you ever taken life-saving drugs? Most of them came from experiments on animals?
Animal rights is bullshit. You know who was a huge animal lover, opponent of hunting and medical research on animals? Hitler! Yet today a lot of people proudly tell me that they love animals more than they love people. They do not realize what they’re saying.
As for the rickshaws, yeah, I’ve seen the American version on it, it’s not with Asians but young people in workout clothes, but you know what? It’s not romantic. Here in Chattanooga our carriages feature a driver with a dalmatian, it’s very cute. Perfect to do with the kids or the wife.
