Queens Council member floats carriage horse welfare bill to counter measure to ban industry
City Council Member James Gennaro introduced a bill to improve welfare conditions for Central Park carriage horses following the death of a horse named Deniz. The bill, supported by TWU Local 100, aims to enhance safety regulations while opposing a separate measure to phase out horse carriages, which TWU claims would harm drivers' livelihoods.
