## Resource

A Central Park carriage horse named Deniz died after ingesting toxic Japanese Yew shrubs while pulling passengers — sparking a heated debate over horse-drawn carriage safety. Animal advocates blame the industry for neglect, while the drivers’ union blames the park for planting dangerous plants near carriage paths and demands apologies from critics. The Conservancy defends its landscaping choices and pushes for a ban, citing safety in a crowded park, as lawmakers advance Ryder’s Law to end the industry. The mayor wants to balance animal welfare with driver livelihoods, leaving the issue deeply divided. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
