Caleche horse collapses in Old Montreal.

[Catherine]

They have been pushing for bans for years. The horses are worked too long in all weather. They are not fed and watered during their work day for hours at a stretch. Horses are grazing animals. They need regular food intake and water. Too many horses have collapsed and even died because of this. 
I think the days of cute tourist rides needs to end. We know that animals are exploited and we should no longer want to take such rides. It isn't much of a holiday memory if the horse pulling you dies because you wanted a ride.
