Horses Without Carriages in Rome How You Can Participate

Cities worldwide "celebrated" Horses Without Carriages International Day this weekend.  And it is not to late for everyone to get involved with the campaign in Rome.  Recently LAV updated its campaign against the botticelle in Rome.  They had a very creative group of people ride around the tourist sites in Rome on a vintage double decker bus and started a new petition.

LAV is firmly for abolition of the carriages in Rome and promotes peaceful protests.

SIGN THE PETITION HERE

Why?  Well here are some good reasons:

New Shocking Video by LAV

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 The WONDERFUL Minister of Tourism, Michelle Brambilla is for a total ban on this useless, cruel, and outdated industry.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
