You people are all the same. Any one with a different opinion than yours is labeled this or that. If you KNEW anything about horses you wouldnt be saying the stupid things you say. How much do you people actually know about horses? Have you ever even been to a horse farm? Its pointless to argue with people like you who cant back up thier points bc they dont know anything about what they are saying in the first place! I HATE NYC bc of people like YOU! Every time I come back from now on I will take a ride and I will tell all of my friends to do so as well.

[...] She pointed out that horses went to work in a snowstorm last month, and one slipped on an icy street. [...]

Not a typist, Makupaname (are you Samoan?). I guess that means you’re blaming your hand eye coordination for the fact that you can’t write a single thought in intelligible English. I also admire your moral relativism, the point being if you can find someplace else on the planet that they treat animals worse it justifies their abuse here. I get the feeling that a lot of slave owners felt the same way. Well, at least you spelled ignorant correctly. Bravo.

Well Susan, your reply is certainly well thought out. It is odd though that you seem to display the endemic dyslexia of all supporters of the Carriage Horse industry. But, I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. It’s not as if all of you people have trouble spelling. But I am curious. You say you work with horses everyday. Where? And you just happened to take off from your daily job with horses, in New York City, to observe them during a snowstorm. Right.

These horses are suffering. I saw some that looked like they had icicles on them. The streets were icy. If that’s not bad enough, what about the drivers overcharging and lying about the sales tax. It’s disgusting.

All the horses looked perfectly relaxed and happy to me, and in very good condition, and I deal with horses everyday. Most had blankets on when waiting, but the horse will overheat if blanketed while working. I would assume that the drivers had jackets etc as they would get cold as they are not doing any physical work. I did not notice any of the horses struggling on “icy slippery streest”, they all seemed to be very sure footed. I would suggest that all those who are horrified do a bit of research on horses before commenting on how creul this is.

Well obviously they have the ability to endure suffering. I just hope they don’t have to listen to you speak as well. Ouch.
