Signs and banners provided.St. Augustine carriage horses are forced to work in Florida's scorching heat and humidity. They have to maneuver through congested streets, dodging pedestrians, bicycles, trolleys, and other vehicles. The horses have no choice but to inhale exhaust fumes leading to respiratory issues.
It's time for America's Oldest City to evolve and make this antiquated practice that exploits and endangers horses and people a thing of the past.Take Action!
Please contact the St. Augustine commissioners and ask that they ban these cruel carriages and get them off the streets! :Email: cosa@citystaug.com
See you there!
