Cruelty Investigator Attacked in New York

As for the carriage drivers and their representation of NYC to tourists here is what I have experienced in the last 10 days 1. I was told by a driver to on Central Park West to "suck his horse's dick" when I was telling tourists not to take rides due to the abuse the horses suffer. It was 2 pm on my day off and he told me Dont you have anything better to do? Get a job. 2. A tourist said she saw a driver with a black hat hit his horse but she couldn't validate which driver it was since two drivers were wearing black hats. If she had been sure I would have called ASPCA and the Mayor immediately. Given the situation I asked each driver wearing a black hat if he was the person who hit his horse telling him "People are watching you and know about your abusive industry." Both drivers said they would never hit their horses but they would hit their wives. They both said this proudly. Very proudly! 3. I did get two tourists not to take a ride and other tourists seemed to be listening. Two young girls were already on a carriage and I told one of them that she was supporting abuse and she said "That's my choice." Sickening! 4. I told a driver that his horse looked thin to me and I asked him if he cared at all about his horse he said "Your father should have used a condom." 5. I asked drivers who were near some shade if they could move their horses to the shade while they wait for another passenger and they said "What's your fu.king" problem?" I said Dont you care at all about your horse? and one very angry driver said No! Call the ASPCA if you want. I took pictures of the drivers and one became so furious that he ran to get a camera and take a picture of me. He was walking fast and angrily towards me with his camera trying to intimidate me by getting about 3 feet away from my face to take the picture. Pitiful! I blocked him from taking a picture of my face. 6. I saw another carriage driver feeding his horse oats in a bucket and when the horse by accident pushed the bucket over with his foot bucket was in an awkward place by a curb the driver said "Stupid horse!" and then took the bucket of oats away. He did give him a carrot but it was as if he was punishing the horse for pushing over the bucket with not feeding him. When he saw me looking at him and saying nothing he sarcastically said "So what are we doing?" The drivers total disregard for their horses and enormous defensiveness clearly shows how much they have to hide. The abuse the horses suffer is the priority but the scum who drive them is a stain on our city!

Do you really think this will be investigated when 2 NYPD officers are employed as Part time drivers in this inhumane carriage industry

This looks like a carriage driver for sure!

I wish I could have been there. I'dve come up fromt behind smacked the guy hurting the inspectors and dragged him off. I bet he was hiding something.

These carriage drivers make loads of money and aren't reporting the income. This carriage horse thing is tax fraud central. Why is the city letting these people abuse animals cause traffic jams and accidents and get away with tax fraud?
