100 eur per hour to smell horses ass…. Should cancel itself but people are weird and you know…instagram.
They should definitely move their waiting stand from top of the Grafton street to opposite side where viking tours start. There are food business right next to it now that I’m sure dont appreciate the smell of piss and manure …

Yes, because it’s cruel but also because they let them shit all outside my apartment binding, and Dublin 8 just REEKS of horse shit every fucking day. Complained and the council do nothing.

Yes, the horses are treated like shit

TBH I’m sick of trying to dodge horse shit cycling into work.

It’s such a cruel thing. I would never get one of these. Horses are not meant for cities
Ashamed-Rooster-4211 on
Yes, end dog racing too while we are at it.
xTMCDIE on
Yes! Should have been ended long ago.

No. Stop trying to ban things you aren’t interested in

Let’s start putting people on the owners!

Yes 100%
Shame on anyone who funds this crap

Can we put an end to horse and traps in the rest of the country too?
Mrs_Doyles_Teabags on
Yes
Garviel_Loken12 on
Yes, horses are not looked after and seen a few of these carriages just run through red lights.

Regulate, horses are intelligent and can be fine in cities. As long they are looked after. Probably better for the environment too than electric cars and combustion motors, and its part of the cities history

Carriage horses, fox hunts, dog races, all of it. The appeal to tradition doesn’t change a damn thing about the absolutely appalling mistreatment of these animals.
Commercial_Gold_9699 on
If it could be regulated better then I’d keep it but doubtful.

No. It provides employment in a deprived area. Better this than have these lads sngry snd bitter and poor, trying yo break into my car. There is plenty worse treatment of horses going on elsewhere in the country and it’s government endorsed.
NikoStrelkov on
Yes, together with e-scooters. For everyone’s safety on the roads.
No-Programmer6788 on
Yep.

Start with the carriages. Then look into the racing industry. The horses are used and abused and sometimes even just abandoned to die if they don’t make enough money. Then do the same for greyhounds. Stop giving this sector taxpayer money and let them fund themselves via sales and sponsorships etc. If it’s an “integral” part of Irish culture then they should do fine, right?

100% Horses should be walking/running on softer ground, not hard roads.

Horses need to be worked. Greyhound’s need to run and sheepdogs need to work. They all have energy that needs to be burned off. Animals being mistreated is wrong and should never happen but seeing a greyhound at full pelt and a horse working a field or pulling a carriage is a sight to behold. And sheepdogs are wonderful to watch doing their thing. Regulations for these animals needs to be more stringent.

Neat_Expression_5380 on
Yes.
nut-budder on
Yes but also horse and dog racing, coursing, intensive farming of animals (e.g. pigs) etc
Humeme on
Should have been done a long time ago, the animals are in poor condition, they don’t belong in a city. They need to be taken and given to proper facilities that can care for them.

It’s time to actually police the animal welfare laws we do have, establish the animal crime unit that has been promised and long fingered for two decades now, put an end to the disgusting culture of animal cruelty we have allowed to fester and sort our shit out. It is perfectly possible for other cities to have carriage horses that aren’t treated like crap. We could too if we didn’t have a government that is allergic to capital investment.

Restrict it to loops of Stephen’s green

Yes. The horses are left standing outside the Guinness Storehouse in their own shit for hours at a time with no water points. They’re then forced to pull around raucous groups of stag-dos in chaotic Dublin City traffic. Two have publicly collapsed and died on the streets in the past year.
The teenagers that are driving them are really young and constantly smoking weed – not in a position to be caring for animals and no doubt being taken advantage of themselves.
