Miley Cyrus has used the power of Twitter to gain support for an end to horse-drawn carriages.
The pop singing star sent a message out to her 11 million followers to sign a petition that would allow horses working in carriages in New York City to retire.
“NYC is just 761 signatures shy of 100,000 petition goal to #FreeTheHorsesNYC! Sign @NYCLASS petition at http://StopHorseAbuse.com,” she wrote.
The organization NYCLASS is sponsoring the petition, which asks New York City council members to pass legislation ending the horse-drawn carriages in the city. The same group has advocated replacing the carriages with eco-friendly, electic-hybrid, vintage model cars.
Horse-drawn carriages are not only hazardous to horses, they’re bad for people too.
Numerous collisions with vehicles that have resulted in injury have occurred in the city.
