It Looks Like Chicago is Finally Paying Attention!

With The Coalition to Ban Horse Drawn Carriages making leaps and bounds thanks to their new mayor, we here at ET are thrilled that Chicago is finally seeing the light and ending this awful tradition.  Carriage owners will try to convince you that their horses are "well cared for" and "happy" but nothing is further from the truth.  Day in and day out the horses, some of whom are geriatric, are forced to work on the congested streets of Chicago.  When they aren't busy running free in the streets of Old Town, they're made to work long shifts in all kinds of weather.  Isn't it time this outdated "tradition" be put to pasture along with those sick, old and tired horses?  Inside sources tell us that there have been no significant changes since the whole J.C Cutters debacle.  When will The City of Chicago wake up and realize that these owners don't take care of their horses and most of all, NEVER follow any of the rules set forth by The Department of Consumer Services.  In fact, they laugh at how they continue to pull the wool over the city's eyes year after year.  Half the operators are high at work, habitual drug users or illegal immigrants.  When do we say, "ENOUGH?"

Thank you to Alderman Burke and Mayor Emanuel for finally giving this issue the attention it deserves.
