To the Speaker of the NYC Council,

<h3>We urge you to bring Ryder’s Law to an immediate vote and pass it without delay. Horses continue to collapse, suffer, and die in New York City because they are forced into traffic, heat, noise, and working conditions they cannot survive.</h3> <h3>Lady died on 51st Street. Ryder collapsed and never recovered. These cases are the predictable result of using horses for carriage rides in an environment that puts them in constant danger.</h3> <h3>Ryder’s Law would end the commercial carriage horse industry, retire the remaining horses to guaranteed safety, and transition drivers into paid, humane alternatives.</h3> <h3>The lives of these animals depend on your leadership. Advance and pass Ryder’s Law now.</h3>
