PA #hunters buy NYC #pigeons, starve them, fling them out of boxes to shoot them as target practice. Illegal, but there's only ever been 1 arrest. #poaching continues because it's lucrative. Cheers to @SpeciesUnite & @CarlinaRivera for covering and caring. tinyurl.com/Pigeon-poaching

The City Council has had six days to take action and pass Ryder’s Law, yet they haven’t said a word. The question is are they refusing to take action to make people safer, to stop the inhumane treatment of animals, or both?

Horse-drawn carriages have been an iconic fixture of Central Park for generations. But tradition alone can’t justify the risks they pose to both the horses and the people around them. It’s time for change. Here's how we're taking action while working to support drivers:

August 13,2021 Advocates have been watching this senseless trade in Dallas for years - at least since the mid 1990s. @paulablackmon @DallasMayor @Johnson4Dallas @CityOfDallas @NBCDFW @wfaa this is severe outdated, inhumane, dangerous - a public health concern.#banhorsecarriages

The "overworked and underfed" animal, called John, passed out on the street while still attached to the cart in Cozumel, Mexico. #BanHorseCarriages sg.news.yahoo.com/2016-01-21…

Over the past 15 years, @nytopinion has published editorials in support of NYC's horse-drawn carriage trade. In light of the evidence demonstrating that their operation in NYC is inhumane and unsafe, will the opinion page editors reconsider the paper's perspective on the issue? Note to the editors: The @NYCCouncil would have assuredly passed the bill to ban horse-drawn carriages by now if the Transport Workers Union, which represents the owners (not the workers), wasn't pressuring city lawmakers to vote against it. If elected officials prioritized public service ahead of political expedience, this #AnimalCruelty would have ended two decades ago. cc: @katiekings @patrickhealynyt @nyclass

Carriage horses do not belong in Midtown Traffic. I'm proud to be an original co-sponsor of Intro 967, which would phase out horse carriages in NYC.

Dear @Ron_Nirenberg Please #BanHorseCarriages we as tourists do not want to see horses on city streets. @COSAGOV @COSA_CD1 @COSA_CD2 @COSA_CD5 @COSA_CD6 @BruceWDavidson @VisitSanAntonio #BanHorseCarriages #SanAntonio #HumaneTourism #dontwaitforadeath #dontwaitforalawsuit RT

This is the most important animal welfare investigation in history. I'll say more about that in a podcast with @AnimalRising's Rose Patterson that will be published next Tuesday!
