NYC Mayor Backs Carriage Horse Biz.

After the controversial death of a carriaige horse in the middle of a busy street, New York City Mayor Micheal Bloomberg took to the airwaves to back the industry up.

When asked about the latest tragedy, Bloomberg expressed his support for the abusive carriage horse industry saying the animals “probably wouldn’t be alive if they didn’t have jobs.” Adding insult to injury, he went on to say that carriage horses are “part of New York’s heritage” to which the Gothamist adds “sort of like poisoned milk and bed bugs.” 

The Mayor feels that horses exist only to be made into glue, sold for meat, or pull tourists around New York streets. This won’t help his already plummeting approval rating which has fallen 13 percent in the last 30 days.
