It’s 2023, but horse-drawn carriages are still on the streets of New York, Charleston, and some other tourism spots. But if visitors knew the cruelty behind the nostalgia, they’d never get taken for a ride: These horses are forced to pound the pavement in all weather extremes, dragging heavy loads, dodging cars, and inhaling exhaust fumes. Many horses forced to pull carriages end up with painful and debilitating ailments affecting their hooves and legs, which were made for soft, grassy areas, not city streets.

Luckily, animal-free options for touring a city are abound, from pedicabs and rickshaws to segways and scooters and even vintage-style electric carriages, and kind people in cities across the country are rallying together to demand an end to the horse-drawn carriage industry.
