Amid an incident with a horse that fainted in the center of Lviv, animal rights activists from UAnimals are demanding to restrict the carriage business and are preparing a statement to the police. UNN reports this with reference to the organization's post on Facebook.
At UAnimals, we are convinced that the exploitation of horses in carriages for entertainment is a cruel relic of the past and has no place in a modern city. Today, UAnimals lawyers have prepared a statement to the police about the facts of animal cruelty, and also appealed to the Lviv City Council Lviv City Council and Mayor Andriy Sadovyi with a request to restrict the carriage business in the city in general
The organization said that they had agreed to a joint meeting with the deputy mayor Andriy Moskalenko regarding the horse incident.
The meeting will reportedly demand a complete ban on horse-drawn carriage rides.
