"Pure joy, the feeling I have when I ruin the sale of a horse carriage guy,"
"I decided to wait and re-record when I got back to New York, thinking it would carry more weight. But before I even could, Lady collapsed and died on 11th Avenue. That's when I posted-the same day she died."
"My hope is that the more people see how outdated and cruel this practice is, the harder it becomes to ignore,"
"If the videos push things in the right direction, it's worth every aggressive run-in."
An online movement has intensified calls to end horse-drawn carriages in Central Park following the collapse and death of a carriage horse named Lady. A New York local posting under @spare_time_gurl has gone viral confronting handlers, educating tourists, and documenting alleged mistreatment and work in extreme heat. Supporters cheer the confrontations while carriage drivers resent the interruptions. Multiple influencers have joined the effort, amplifying public debate about whether the carriage trade is a tourist attraction or animal cruelty. The incident has renewed scrutiny and pushed renewed calls for change.
