Dear      :

I am writing to urge you to discontinue the carriage horse rides at [name, location].

More and more people are speaking out against the cruelty involved in carriage horse rides. Serious injuries and even deaths are not uncommon in the horse carriage industry when horses are spooked or carriages tip or collide with vehicles. As a result of both hazards to humans and the perils that the horses face, many cities have banned horse carriage operations. The carriage horse industry is not gaining popularity as the public becomes more educated to the plight of the horses, as well as the risks to public safety.

It is time for [name, location] to make the compassionate decision and discontinue the use of carriage horses.

I will not visit [name, location] and will encourage my family, friends, and business associates to do the same until the carriage ride program is permanently terminated.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,

Back
