The race for the next mayor of New York City may be a historic one.
Not only for humans, but for horses, too!
Horse drawn carriages in New York City have become a big issue these days.
Animal activists say it is severe animal cruelty to have horses drawing carriages around cars in the city. Plus they say the horses are treated very poorly!
But others say that to remove carriage horses from the city will put 300 people out of a job!
One of the supporters of carriage horses is Christine C. Quinn - a top candiate to replace Michael Bloomberg as mayor of the Big Apple.
After Lea Michele, Pamela Anderson and other celebs have voice their concern for carriage horses, Adrien Brody has jump aboard the carriage that hopefully end horse travel in NYC.
The actor wrote a letter on behalf of PETA to NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn, once again asking for an end to horse carriages in the Big Apple.
"A 3rd horse collapses in NYC!!! Are you kidding me!! I'm so sad… @peta @ChoMatic @PamelaDAnderson we have to end this now."
We're sad too. Those poor horses.
PETA said:
"If it seems like just last week that Mayor Bloomberg was callously dismissing the death of a horse used for New York’s infamous carriage rides, that’s because it was.
And in the days since Bloomberg made unintentionally ironic comments like '[they] probably wouldn’t be alive if they didn’t have a job' (talk about a catch 22), there have been two more horse-drawn carriage 'accidents.' (Although what else can be expected when sensitive, easily frightened horses are forced to work 10-hour days in all weather extremes on New York City’s crowded streets?)
The most recent incident happened during Friday’s rush hour when a horse fell down in the middle of the busy street. Witnesses said the horse either collapsed on his own or because his leg became caught in the carriage when he bucked."
U should go sign the petition to ban horse-drawn carriages in NYC: HERE.
A source informed The Blast that, during a recent studio session, Kim Kardashian's husband ranted at the entire room about his career. Apparently, he told his team that he didn't need people with "titles" surrounding him and that he will "do it all [him]self" when it comes to branding his image.
It's said that he was adamant that all Yeezy business would be "handled in-house" -- AKA Kanye would oversee everything. Then, the father of three wrapped up his declaration with:
