Ban Horse Drawn Carriages



Do you live in NYC? Are you absolutely horrified by the horse-drawn carriage industry? Are you shocked that NYC, one of the most progressive cities in the world, hasn't joined the ranks of London, Paris, Toronto and others in banning such a horrific act of cruelty? If you are a business owner in NYC or the surrounding area, and you would like to inform your customers about ways they can help put an end to this, we have a little suggestion. MooShoes and raven + crow studio have teamed up with The Coalition to Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages to create the Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages Poster Project. We're asking concerned business owners to hang these beautiful posters in their places of business to call attention to the issue and get those poor horses off the crowded, dangerous streets of New York.
If you're interested, please email erica@mooshoes.com or horses@ravenandcrowstudio.com with your business name, address,which design and how many posters you would like.


We strongly believe that this is an issue most people can agree on and we think that, by giving people the simple facts, we can put a ban on horse-drawn carriages in NYC for good.
Here and here are the two designs you can choose from.
