Queens Councilman Tony Avella has proposed a resolution to force the Board of Education to comply with New York state law requiring schools to teach about animal rights, the Sun reports.
“The way we treat animals, our fellow neighbors, this is all part of being a member of today’s modern society,” Mr. Avella told the paper. “It’s a benefit to the community and to the city to understand each other’s needs and, in this case, those of animals.”
Councilman Avella recently called for a ban on horse-drawn carriages in the city.
“There have been more accidents, there have been more horses who have died or been put to sleep and the situation is only getting worse,” Councilman Avella said.
After years of fighting to restrict the traditional industry, concerned animal rights activists are pushing to abolish it.
There are over 200 licensed carriage horses in the city, and the practice is heavily regulated.
Ian McKeever, who owns the Shamrock Stables, says the industry has an excellent safety record. He says the councilman, a mayoral candidate, is just looking for publicity.
Mayor Bloomberg supports the industry, saying it’s part of what defines New York City.
