For years people have been questioning the ethics of the horse drawn carriages in New York City

The finding have been pretty clear, these "romantic" horse drawn carriage rides are extremely abusive. There are so many cases that have demonstrated the horrible conditions these animals face every day. One of the horse trainers openly admitted to choking his horses till they pass out in order to train them. Also, the same train said he enjoyed scaring his skittish horses and it would make him laugh like a "madman".

Horses, being sensitive creatures, have specific needs and limitations that are often compromised in the bustling city environment. The relentless noise, fumes, and unforgiving concrete pavements take a toll on their physical and mental health. The long hours spent navigating through traffic, often in extreme weather conditions, can lead to exhaustion, stress, and various health issues.

These regal beings, accustomed to roaming vast open spaces, find themselves confined to small stables in cramped urban quarters. Their natural behaviors, such as grazing, socializing, and engaging in physical activities, are severely limited. The constant exposure to noise and congestion only adds to their anxiety and discomfort.

As advocates for change, we must encourage the city and its residents to embrace more compassionate means of transportation. By supporting animal-free alternatives, such as electric carriages or eco-friendly tours, we can foster a culture of responsible tourism and ensure a brighter future for all.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
