A horse down on steamy asphalt in excruciating heat in downtown Charleston. The operator tells us it\u2019s simply a freak <\/span>accident.<\/span><\/p>\nWe\u2019ve been told excuse after excuse by the carriage industry when a horse or mule goes down.<\/p>\n
A carriage animal that likes to take \u201cnaps\u201d on the asphalt during a tour, a horse that likes to lie down on sidewalks during a tour, countless horses that \u201ctrip\u201d and \u201cstumble\u201d and some are even <\/span>\u201cembarrassed\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\nHere are the undeniable facts: Since 2016 according to Charleston\u2019s own record keeping there have been 145 Accidents\/Incidents and counting: <\/span><\/p>\n\n- Animals injured, even fatally<\/i><\/li>\n
- Children injured<\/span><\/li>\n
- Adults falling off and jumping off wagons<\/li>\n
- Drivers injured and taken to the hospital<\/span><\/li>\n
- Property damage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The City\u2019s ordinance allows the MOST EXTREME TEMPERATURE READING in the NATION before animals are allowed to stop working. The thermometer is located FOUR STORIES atop a hotel and FOUR readings are required before the animals are allowed off the streets for shelter from the heat and humidity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Are we going to let this continue? Are you ready to join us in demanding the Mayor and City <\/span>Council change what we believe is a horrific, cruel ordinance?<\/span><\/p>\nThese voiceless animals need our <\/span>help. We can speak up for them. CCHA is an all-volunteer local non-profit that relies on your <\/span>dollars to purchase banners, bumper stickers, pay a social media consultant to help keep our <\/span>robust social media presence timely as well as pay an accountant and sometimes, like our <\/span>recent win against a carriage wagon company that sought to muzzle our 1st Amendment rights, <\/span>for legal assistance.<\/span><\/p>\nPlease be a part of our efforts to gain humane working and living conditions for carriage animals in Charleston. PLEASE DONATE.<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>
