THE DEBATE OVER CARRIAGE HORSES

On the Sunday, September 7 episode of Animal Matters, host Jeff Simmons explores one of New York City’s most controversial debates: the future of carriage horses.

Joining the conversation are:

  • Edita Birnkrant, Executive Director of NYCLASS, a leading animal advocacy group pushing to ban horse-drawn carriages in NYC.
  • Christina Hansen, Shop Steward at TWU Local 100, representing carriage drivers and defending the industry’s place in city life.

Tune in for a lively discussion and hear perspectives from both sides.
