    Q. Why all the clamoring about NYC carriage horses, but not a peep about NYPD's use of horses for crowd control? See:http://www.thenation.com/article/164167/why-did-nypd-use-horses-occupy-wall-street-protesters …

        @AMovingCastle Of course it's not "the same" -- using horses as tools of intimidation and crowd suppression is almost certainly more abusive

        @AMovingCastle Gotcha. Weaponizing horses for law enforcement purposes strikes me as uniquely abusive.

        @AMovingCastle Long gone should be the days where horses are used for warfare, but police horses seems a continuation of it.

        @AMovingCastle ... did this, and effectively weaponized the horse, who proceeded to get spooked and nearly injured. There's video.

        @eddichance I'd sure like to see someone make the case that crowd control horses are necessary for national security!

        @NYCLASS @mtracey You never answer the question about the NYPD horses. That's because NYPD now enforces for ASPCA. NYCLASS are hypocrites

        @AMovingCastle I was referring to the lives of NYPD horses versus carriage horses I can't see what difference there would be. Enlighten me.
