To prevent the suffering of horses, do not make them pull carriages

I am writing in response to an article which was published in the Dec. 15-21 edition of TimesLedger Newspapers about carriage horses.

As it is proven that there were many more deaths of horses than only three, as the newspaper reported, it should be corrected and a generally different attitude toward this cruel business should be considered.

The suffering of animals should not be depicted as harmless. Please consider a different way of thinking.
