Donny Moss, activist, film maker and the maker of some very powerful YouTubes that have rocked the political scene including "Behind Christine Quinn's Smile" has taken on mayor Mike Bloomberg,
ASPCA, as well as City Council on the reality the horse carriage industry must be banned. By the way he is not alone with world wide support growing and more major cities around the world banning horse drawn carriages.
Donny Moss sent out an email where he wrote this...
"At a public hearing on April 27th, Mayor Bloomberg justified his support of the bill to protect and strengthen NYC's horse-drawn carriage trade by stating that the ASPCA believes the industry is humane. I made a short video so that you can see this perversion of the truth for yourself." Here is the YouTube he sent...

Donny asks this important question....
"Why does the ASPCA protect the horse-drawn carriage trade by allowing lawmakers, carriage operators and even a Franciscan monk to (falsely) suggest that the ASPCA supports it? "
The answer is resounding silence.
He also points out that City Council has not done enough to protect horses. He goes on to write.
"Enabled by the ASPCA's refusal to speak out publicly, Mayor Bloomberg and Council Member Christine Quinn held press conferences boldly declaring their support of NYC's carriage trade. Now that they've passed a pro-industry bill, why would either of them address this issue for years to come? The passage of this bill is a MAJOR set back for the horses and the movement to end this inhumane trade."
He urges all of us here in NYC and world wide to keep up the pressure on the ASPCA and political officials. The goal is to ban horse drawn carriages.
