The New York City Council has officially passed a legislative measure to outlaw the use of horse-drawn carriages within the city. The bill secured a decisive victory with a vote of 40 to 7. This decision marks the conclusion of a contentious debate that has persisted for ten years regarding the welfare of animals and the future of this traditional transport service. It is anticipated that Mayor Zohran Mamdani will sign the legislation into law shortly, effectively ending the long-standing practice in the metropolis.
