Urge Dallas Mayor and City Council to OPPOSE Proposal to BAN the Horse Carriage and Replace them with Electric Vehicles!
It is with great concern that we address the recent push by certain animal rights organizations to BAN horse-drawn carriages in Dallas.
These organizations, without valid reasoning beyond emotional propaganda, are urging the Dallas City Council to replace these cherished symbols of our city's history and charm with electric carriages.
In a recent Dallas City Council meeting, the horse carriage businesses, as constituents, were denied the opportunity to speak! Instead, the Dallas City Council gave the animal rights organizations their full opportunity to speak and make their statements against the lawful horse-drawn carriage businesses and introduce their plan to replace the horses with Electric Vehicles (EVs).
The proposal to replace horses with electric carriages fails to address the fundamental issue at hand: the fate of the horses themselves. Once removed from their jobs, these animals face a bleak future with no means to earn their keep. They are working animals, bred and trained for their tasks, and removing them from their jobs would be a disservice to their well-being.
Furthermore, approving such a ban would set a dangerous precedent not only for Texas but for the entire livestock industry. It sends a message that emotional appeals can override facts and reasoned discourse, posing a threat to countless livelihoods and traditions across the state.
Lastly, the Dallas City Council would be disregarding the law in place that prohibits local government from banning lawful businesses. (See the Regulatory Consistency Act of 2023)
If this BAN on horse-drawn carriages proceeds, what laws will be disregarded next in the state of Texas?

Thank you!
