The tragic death of a carriage horse in Central Park has ignited a fire under the fight to end NYC's horse-drawn industry—and the stakes couldn’t be higher. With footage of the heartbreaking incident circulating widely, the urgent question is: how many more lives must be lost before decisive action is taken?
In this gripping episode, Kelly sits down with Julie Cappiello, president of Voters for Animal Rights, to unpack the harrowing realities behind the carriage horse industry in New York City. Just days after a horse collapsed and died from ingesting poisonous plants in Central Park, an entirely new incident occurs—this time involving a spooked horse that bolted and fatally injured a teenager. As emotions run high and communities demand change, Julie reveals the behind-the-scenes efforts to ban horse carriages in NYC—and what it truly takes to protect animals and humans alike.
