Last Monday, the 25th of October, LAV and 13 other animal rights organizations had a press conference at city hall in Rome and they presented this video showing not only this mistreatment of the horses in Rome, but the total disregard for the laws that have already been implemented. The WONDERFUL Minister of Tourism, Michelle Brambilla is for a total ban on this useless, cruel, and outdated industry. We at Horses Without Carriages International ROME say BRAVA to Ms. Brambilla. We also say BOOOOOOOOOO!! to the Pdl leader, Luca Gramazio, who has said publicly that Rome needs even MORE regulations, not abolition. Um, what we want to know is how can you say regulation and welfare work after seeing this totally blatant disregard for the weak welfare laws that already exist? Please email Luca Gramazio at: luca.gramazio@libero.it, segreteria@realtanuova.com
Don't forget 5 December is officially Horses Without Carriages International Day, so GET INVOLVED. If you city has horse drawn carriages, find out if a group has something organized, or go to a carriage stop and let people know who are thinking about taking a torture ride how cruel they really are. Get Creative!!
