Mallorca Doesn’t Need Horse-Drawn Carriages
Cities such as London, Paris, and Toronto no longer issue licences for horse-drawn tourist carriages, and many – including Barcelona, New Delhi, Oxford, and Tel Aviv – have already banned them altogether. By switching to using electric vehicles instead, Mallorca would be making its streets safer and providing tourists with a more compassionate and eco-friendly way to explore the island’s sights.
Horses Deserve Meaningful Lives
Horses are sensitive, social animals who naturally live in herds. They need sufficient exercise as well as appropriate food, fresh water, regular care, and veterinary treatment. If these most basic needs aren’t met, the animals suffer throughout their lives and may develop serious illnesses. When cared for properly, given adequate space, and allowed to live free from exploitation and abuse, horses can live for 35 years or longer.
