The agriculture industry hopes you won't notice their battle to keep torturing ducks. currentaffairs.org/news/the-lobby…

Even by the abysmally low standards of animal agriculture, duck foie gras is a gruesome business. 2-3 times per day, a tube is shoved down a young duck’s throat and up to a kilogram of food is injected into their stomach in the span of about two seconds. currentaffairs.org/news/the-lobby…

Today, finally, opening statements begin in Manhattan Criminal Court where horse carriage owner & former industry spokesperson Ian McKeever is charged with overdriving, torturing and injuring animals, following Ryder’s the horse’s collapse & death in 2022. #JusticeForRyder

Two Hell’s Kitchen residents gave emotional testimony Wednesday in the trial of carriage driver Ian McKeever, recalling the 2022 collapse of Ryder the horse at W45th & 9th. #W42ST w42st.com/post/hells-kit…

The third day of the animal cruelty trial of carriage driver Ian McKeever saw dueling veterinary testimony — and sharp courtroom clashes — over the condition of Ryder, the horse who collapsed on a Hell’s Kitchen street in 2022. #W42ST w42st.com/post/he-never-…

We cannot adopt our way out of this crisis. Upstream is the only way. We need to expand affordable spay/neuter services and access to veterinary care. City-funded vet clinics will keep pets with their families & reduce the burden on rescue groups and our overcrowded shelters.

If this isn’t animal cruelty then I don’t know what is — a horrifying miscarriage of justice. 📢We are not done fighting. Horse carriages don’t belong here. NYCLASS Voters For Animal Rights nytimes.com/2025/07/21/nyr…

We must outlaw carriage horses. Ryder’s story is a tragedy and sadly all-to-common. Horses deserve to run free, not be forced to work in extreme conditions. This is inhumane and I will fight tirelessly alongside NYCLASS until we get this done. nytimes.com/2025/07/21/nyr…

It’s long past time to pass Ryder’s Law. This abuse has gone on far too long. Cities around the world have already moved to humane alternatives. It’s time New York finally does the same.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.forward.com/opinion/757549…

Our animal shelters are overcrowded, and ACC has now announced they can’t take in any more surrenders. This is heartbreaking and unacceptable. We’re in a full-blown crisis, and it’s going to take real solutions—not silence—from the city. That’s why I introduced a bill to

A carriage horse collapsed and died in Hell’s Kitchen this afternoon, just blocks from its stable, drawing shocked reactions from witnesses and reigniting scrutiny of New York City’s horse-drawn carriage industry. #W42ST w42st.com/post/breaking-…

Another New York carriage horse is dead. NYC horses are often forced to work in dangerous, loud, traffic-filled streets that strain their health and overall quality of life. We urge the City Council to pass Ryder’s Law (Intro. 967) to finally put an end to horse carriages in NYC.

The Central Park Conservancy has ended years of neutrality and formally called for a ban on horse-drawn carriages, saying the practice is “no longer compatible with the realities of a modern, heavily used and shared public space.” #W42ST w42st.com/post/central-p…
