WE DID IT! We will have more to say, and many more to thank. But right now we will just say THANK YOU @speakermenin @nycmayor @chrismartenyc and all the many passionate advocates and supporters of the successful effort today to pass Romanch’s Law to BAN Deadly Horse Carriages in NYC!
History was made today! The next step is transitioning the horses to loving rescue farms. Stay tuned for more details to come.

Rest in peace, Marty Woess. Marty will be greatly missed. She was a guardian angel and protector of the Prospect Park wildlife and educated and touched so many lives. Our condolences are with her friends and family.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Marty Woess, who served the Alliance for 19 years.
She helped countless Brooklynites develop a deeper appreciation for the park's landscapes and the wildlife. Our thoughts are with everyone mourning this loss.

In an article titled “A Man Must Eat Meat,” @TheAtlantic explores - and challenges - the (ludicrous) cultural connection between meat consumption and masculinity. @olgakhazan - Thank you for writing this thoughtful article. cc: @JeffreyGoldberg @AdrienneLaF

Romanch's Law: Video not seen by many eyes here in The States. Romanch Mahajan, his mother and brother as they board the @TWULocal100 represented carriage moments before he died due to the horse running LOOSE after driver never held him. Three key points here. A - driver isn't even holding horse here while father takes the video. B - they claim stray voltage and wet ground conducting electricity? Dust, not wet. C - Second horse yards away not affected by anything they claim? While EVERYONE else walks no issues. @NYDailyNews

Word on NYC streets (and statues) is that @RadioCity Music Hall needs to ditch live animal acts 👀🗽
Camels, sheep, and donkeys are hauled in cramped trucks, kept backstage, and exposed to loud crowds for its live nativity scenes. Help make the Christmas Spectacular animal-free!

The @nytimes asks ‘Do Animals Grieve?
Of course they do!
Scientists have long agreed that vertebrates and many invertebrates possess sentience.
It should never be called into question, rather there should be universal understanding that animals should always be viewed as fellow species deserving of respect, compassion and kindness

For too long, carriage horses have been forced to navigate busy city streets for human entertainment. New York City's carriage horse ban marks a long-awaited victory for animal protection and compassion. Horses deserve better. 🐴💙

@galeabrewer teamed up with @NYCACC at her district office on Sunday to provide dogs and cats with free vaccines and microchips.
That means one less bill for pet owners and safer and healthier animals for everyone.

One of the Upper West Side Barn Owls is back again in the Central Park Ramble, resting undisturbed high above Azalea Pond on this Saturday. 🦉 ❤️ 💤

Well this is a new one. Not only is this horse clearly sore, there's a baby in a stroller which is laying across the seat in the carriage. 🤷

.@NYCMayor is reaffirming his commitment to sign legislation that phases out horse-drawn carriages in Central Park by June 2028, despite pushback from industry workers. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Congrats to NYC’s new Dog Mayor & Deputy Dog Mayor! 🐾
We look forward to a pawsitive collaboration on animal issues and legislation like the SCOOP Act, which the Council passed to put 1,200 bag dispensers on trash bins, pilot dog run composting & add park signage.

If you want change, find the guy with principles, not the guy who makes promises.
Zohran is not known as an animal activist and barely said anything about horse carriages during his campaign. But he is known for sticking to principles, even when it costs him something. He promised quietly to protect horse carriages. And, unlike prior mayors and politicians who made loud commitments, Zohran delivered.
There is a lesson here for animal advocates, and others seeking enduring change. Don't seek the cheap talk. Find the people with integrity who can stand behind a principle. Zohran made a promise. He kept it. It's that sort of person who is going to help us make change.
Bravo to @NYCMayor for standing by his campaign promise to ban horse carriages in our future-focused NYC!
New Yorkers are grateful for your compassion towards the horses and pledge to provide a fair, tangible transition for carriage owners and workers.
We look forward to the fulfillment of this cherished goal, and celebrate your honorable and humane commitment!
