Deniz's Death Sparks Debate Over Park Carriages
Description
A beloved 16-year-old carriage horse named Deniz died in Central Park after ingesting a toxic yew plant, igniting a fierce clash between park officials and carriage drivers’ union. The union cites a Cornell necropsy, blaming park management for failing to warn of deadly plants, while the Conservancy counters that rules already require drivers to supervise horses—and suggests negligence may lie with the drivers themselves. As animal advocates push for a citywide ban on horse-drawn carriages, the incident reignites debate over tradition versus animal welfare in New York City.
