New York City: Help End Horse-Drawn Carriages!
This action is for New York City residents only.
The New York City Council is considering Intro 943, Romanch’s Law, formerly known as Ryder’s Law, and recently renamed in honor of Romanch Mahajan, an 18-year-old tourist who tragically died after a Central Park horse-drawn carriage incident. If passed, this law would responsibly phase out New York City’s horse-drawn carriage industry.
Years of failed reforms have shown that stronger regulations are not enough. The only lasting way to protect New York City’s carriage horses — and the public — is for a prohibition on the industry.
New York City residents, please contact your City Council member and urge them to support Intro 943, Romanch’s Law.
