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.
*in Dublin and every town/village in Ireland.
Can we replace them with sulkies then
yes
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
Yes, end dog racing too while we are at it.
Yes! Should have been ended long ago.
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?
Yes
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.
If it could be regulated better then I’d keep it but doubtful.
Yep.
Obviously
Yes.
Yes but also horse and dog racing, coursing, intensive farming of animals (e.g. pigs) etc
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.
Nice try trying to get my reddit account banned Journal!
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.

Yes. Well past its time.
