WE DID IT! We will have more to say, and many more to thank. But right now we will just say THANK YOU @speakermenin @nycmayor @chrismartenyc and all the many passionate advocates and supporters of the successful effort today to pass Romanch’s Law to BAN Deadly Horse Carriages in NYC!
History was made today! The next step is transitioning the horses to loving rescue farms. Stay tuned for more details to come.

A Brooklyn girl is pleading for help from rescue crews to find her cat who she says is still inside her apartment following Wednesday’s building collapse.
"I was going to go get him, but I realized I didn't know what I was going to face, and before all this happened, we used to feel shakes in our building," she said.
This should be further investigated. There are a lot of TWU 100 members who have expressed anger and disappointment at the behavior of their union leaders who they say are not representing their best interests yet have spent millions on hateful ads and lobbying to prop up wealthy horse carriage owners..
The behavior of TWU on the horse carriage issue…where they represent the interests of wealthy *owners* at the expense of exploited workers who have no salary, no benefits, and no worker protections is shocking.

If this is true. How is @transportworker President @TwuSamuelsen holding a board position with @MTA while a resident of the State of Florida who also votes there and not New York???? Same man who with @TWULocal100 acts as if he's a horseman too. This doesn't add up.
This is heartbreaking. We hope that officials can help rescue the cat trapped in the building debris. There might well be other pets trapped or injured as well. @NYCMayorsOffice @NYPDPaws
"The first thing I thought about was my cat."

Whoa here. They had ANOTHER horse loose back then like last year on Labor Day? Like I mentioned last night, Bambi had TWO drivers on board, they said she was new to the park yet still had PASSENGERS on board! Remember the man bailing out to save himself? Romanch wasn't so lucky, was he. I still wanna know who that is chasing the carriage yelling the F word, like that's gonna work.

Spotting an owl in Central Park can be magical, but the most important thing is keeping these delicate birds safe.
Support our feathered friends by maintaining a respectful distance, being as quiet as possible, avoiding sudden movements & flash photography.

Rest in peace, Marty Woess. Marty will be greatly missed. She was a guardian angel and protector of the Prospect Park wildlife and educated and touched so many lives. Our condolences are with her friends and family.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Marty Woess, who served the Alliance for 19 years.
She helped countless Brooklynites develop a deeper appreciation for the park's landscapes and the wildlife. Our thoughts are with everyone mourning this loss.

In an article titled “A Man Must Eat Meat,” @TheAtlantic explores - and challenges - the (ludicrous) cultural connection between meat consumption and masculinity. @olgakhazan - Thank you for writing this thoughtful article. cc: @JeffreyGoldberg @AdrienneLaF

Romanch's Law: Video not seen by many eyes here in The States. Romanch Mahajan, his mother and brother as they board the @TWULocal100 represented carriage moments before he died due to the horse running LOOSE after driver never held him. Three key points here. A - driver isn't even holding horse here while father takes the video. B - they claim stray voltage and wet ground conducting electricity? Dust, not wet. C - Second horse yards away not affected by anything they claim? While EVERYONE else walks no issues. @NYDailyNews

Word on NYC streets (and statues) is that @RadioCity Music Hall needs to ditch live animal acts 👀🗽
Camels, sheep, and donkeys are hauled in cramped trucks, kept backstage, and exposed to loud crowds for its live nativity scenes. Help make the Christmas Spectacular animal-free!

The @nytimes asks ‘Do Animals Grieve?
Of course they do!
Scientists have long agreed that vertebrates and many invertebrates possess sentience.
It should never be called into question, rather there should be universal understanding that animals should always be viewed as fellow species deserving of respect, compassion and kindness

For too long, carriage horses have been forced to navigate busy city streets for human entertainment. New York City's carriage horse ban marks a long-awaited victory for animal protection and compassion. Horses deserve better. 🐴💙

@galeabrewer teamed up with @NYCACC at her district office on Sunday to provide dogs and cats with free vaccines and microchips.
That means one less bill for pet owners and safer and healthier animals for everyone.
