TV host and actress Chelsea Handler is leading the charge on a group reaching out to NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg to ban carriage rides in NYC’s Central Park.
Joining animal-advocacy group NYClass, Handler has written a letter to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, urging him to replace the horses with electric cars modeled on vintage classics. She also reveals in the letter that she has made a $15,000 donation to the cause.
The comedian Handler writes, “You’re a man who has money and I’m a woman who loves money so I wanted to let you know that I’m donating $15,000 to a cause you don’t believe in – yet…”
“These green cars will be an authentic turn-of-the-century replicas that will promote tourism, save jobs and keep the horses out of harm’s way. As if they weren’t fabulous enough, they also get a 10 – 12 hour drive on just one charge – even my vibrator doesn’t do that.”
“I hope you’ll support (legislation) which phases out horse carriages and replaces them with this humane alternative.”
Do you think NYC should ban the horse & carriage rides?
The goal of all inanimate objects is to resist man and ultimately defeat him.
