New York City Bans Horse-Drawn Carriages After Tourist's Death
New York City's council has voted to ban horse-drawn carriages, a tradition of 160 years, with the ban set to take effect in June 2028. The decision followed the death of an 18-year-old tourist from India in June, who was ejected from a carriage. The ban, named Romanch's Law, aims to address safety and animal abuse concerns, though it is expected to face legal challenges before implementation. Views on the ban were divided among those in Central Park.
