Carriage Horses Taken for Midnight Ride

Horses who pull heavy loads of tourists through noisy, polluted city streets are not retired to pastures where they graze their final days away. This anonymous contribution to PostSecret.com assures us of that.

To the anonymous poster, if your conscience bothers you, our investigators eagerly await more details.

To the anonymous poster:

If you are so bothered by this that you felt you had to post it on postsecret.com it may not be worth the money the carriage company is paying you. I know times are hard (I'm unemployed myself right now) but perhaps you should quit. Almost any job would be better than that.

Hmm... I would question anonymous posters on sites like this to begin with because you don't know who it really is behind the keyboard. You may be walking into more than you guys bargain for.

(no, I am not said poster, but I learned this the hard way for a class assignment).

ANIMAL CRUELTY IS AN ABOMINATION TO THIS WORLD.US AS HUMAN KIND MAKES THE HUMAN POPULATION LOOK LIKE LIVING BORN TOO BE MURDERERS.INDIVIDUALS SHOULD WAKE UP AND FEEL ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES TO TREAT A ANIMAL IN SUCH A WAY.IT TAKES A PERSON WITH NO HEART TO ATTEND TOO ANY ANIMAL IN SUCH BRUTAL WAY!
