I sure hope so. It is like a landlord who has been putting up with a bad tenant for years, one who ruins the flooring, walls, causes accidents, and often has a police presence. And FINALLY - they say "Enough is enough!" "We've had it. We try to keep our building nice; we raise money to do so, and your arrogance and entitlement are not appreciated. "
I do wonder what will happen now -- we've been disappointed so many times - (de Blasio) With Mayor Adams, it is hard to see what will happen. He has never sat down with activists, although he said he would discuss the issue before he was unfortunately elected in 2021. (He is also running last in the polls and lost the Democratic. primary to Mamdani) The City can't afford to get rid of the Conservancy because they have done a great job.
I recall when we first started the ban campaign in 2006, only 7 years after the Conservancy began. We knew someone who seemingly had some influence and knew the man who was the head of the Conservancy - and she could not get through to him. I think they were afraid of the far-reaching tentacles of the business.
I heard about this earlier today. Finally someone with clout can speak out about this horrendous industry and hoping and praying it will soon come to an end🙏🏼❤️🐴🙏🏼❤️🐴🙏🏼❤️🐴
although this is excellent news, it is just painful that all those now against it, don’t even mention the extreme cruelty that these horses have been suffering for decades!
I understand and agree. However, the CPC has been ignoring the issue for as long as they've been managing Central Park - so this is big news. They have been around since 1998 and have a contract with the City of NY. As a not-for-profit, they raise most the funds to manage the park, with maybe a small amount from the City, which is lucky to have them. They have clout.
They put out a pretty strong statement and it does sound as if they’re fed up with the industry. I really hope this can be a turning point.

It is s-o-o past time to end these inhumane horse drawn carriage rides. Too many wonderful
and beautiful horses, have given their lives for this ridiculousness. Have compassion you
"human" beings and end this slavery, NOW!
