And we'll queue up the article.

It's titled, Mom Donnie Supports a Ban on Horse Carriages in New York City.

Following a teen's death this summer and a continued opposition from animal activists, New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani on October 13th announced a plan to ban horse-drawn carriages.

The horse carriage injuries is coming to an end in New York City, Mamdani posted on X.

The mayor is committed to signing the bill.

Thanks, Speaker Menon, for doing the right thing in bringing this cruel industry closer to its end.

This is not just the first time city leaders have pushed to ban horse carriages in the city.

Just more than a year ago, former Mayor Eric Adams announced support to end the use of horse-drawn carriages.

That's everything we're going to be investigating.

Ah, it's Zoran Milani, part of his announcement that they're getting rid of the New York City horse carriages like Kramer did in the Seinfeld episode.

[laughs] Here's a taste of old New York.

Um, I never did that.

Hmm.

Now they're gonna take it away.

Why are they taking away my horse carriages?

'Cause it's mean to the horses or something.

So, passenger steps out of a plush railroad car behind a Baldwin locomotive and into a polished black George IV Phaeton drawn by two high-stepping hackneys.

And that Phaethon is surrounded by doctors' gigs, hansoms, buckboards, jaunting cars, farm wagons, and delivery vehicles.

Most people still walked.

But nearly every part of local movement depended on horse flesh.

The Volunteer Guard got no money from the federal government, and it got very little money from the state government, so it did things that it could sell tickets to.

And the things that it did, these competitions, these polo matches, these ballerina events, were very popular with the Austin public, and people would come out here Carriages, wagons, eventually the railroad, of course, is going to haul people because one of the reasons that Camp Mabry winds up where it winds up is because it's built right next to the tracks of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, which for military purposes was incredibly vital.

And so, you know, Camp Mabry has always been a centerpiece of Austin.

The city grew around it, as cities tend to do around military installations.

R-R-U-A-G-E. Carruaje?

Carruaje, yeah.

De la Muerte.

The Carriage of Death.
