Free the Horses - DOT hearings - Should the horse drawn carriage wait ("hack") line be moved into Central ParK?
Short Description: 

For decades, animal rights activists have been protesting the cruelty and exploitation involved in the horse drawn carriage industry, urging its banning. Recently, the Dept. of Transportation held hearings to get input from these activists and the carriage drivers themselves on whether or not to move the hack (waiting for customers) line into Central Park and out of city traffic, noise, chaos and pollution. Included here, besides testimonials, is footage of the sad life of the horses.
