Ignorant or hypocritical? (July 19, 2015: New York Daily News)

Essex, Mass.: Russell Simmons, who objects to the carriage horses, also says he wants to bring polo to the masses. Polo is physically a lot harder on horses than pulling light carriages at a walk. Simmons also supports the Occupy movement aimed at lessening income inequality. So for him to support banning the carriages, eliminating 300 working class jobs in the process, is either ignorant or hypocritical. Ellen Attridge
