T
he Central Park Conservancy, a nonprofit that oversees the iconic New York City park, has announced its support for ending horse-drawn carriage rides in the park. This decision comes on the heels of a recent incident where a horse died, sparking renewed calls to end the long-standing tradition. The carriages have been a staple in Central Park for over 150 years, but concerns about animal welfare and safety have led some to advocate for their removal.
