PoliticsOct 22New York wants to get rid of horse-drawn carriages in Central ParkDe gemeenteraad van New York heeft voor een verbod op paardenkoetsen in Central Park gestemd. Dat melden Amerikaanse media. Het verbod moet in 2028 ingaan, tot die tijd kunnen tegenstanders de plannen nog juridisch aanvechten. Een verbod op de koetsen wordt al jaren besproken, zo bekritiseren sommigen de industrie als vorm van dierenmishandeling. De kwestie kwam onder een vergrootglas te liggen nadat deze zomer een paard op hol sloeg. Een 18-jarige toerist uit India kwam daarbij om het leven. Het wetsvoorstel voor een verbod werd door een ruime meerderheid van de gemeenteraad aangenomen. VeertNOS Buitenland
