About this ebook
Jon Katz reveals the truth behind the controversy between the Central Park carriage trade and the politicians and organizations who call themselves supporters of animal rights. It documents a shameful failure of politics and media as it explores the reality of the lives of the carriage horses and the truth about working animals.The book also takes a deeper look at the future of animals in our world. The modern-day animal rights movements seems to be removing animals from our lives more than protecting them, and the horses seem to have called on us to consider their fate in a wiser and more thoughtful way.A portion of all proceeds will go to the fund to save the horses.
