Pink
Campaigns Against Central Park Horses
1/17/08
Pink has joined forces with animal rights group People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals (PETA) to try and ban horse-drawn carriages in New
York's Central Park.
The creature-loving pop punk will appear on billboards across the city,
urging New Yorkers and tourists to boycott the traditional mode of
transport.
She tells the New York Daily News, "Every time I see these horses
in New York City, it hurts my heart.
"These horses aren't taken care of at all - their hooves are made
for grass and they're forced to walk on concrete, and there's fumes from
all the Mercedes (traffic in the city), which the horses suck in all day
long."
