Chattahoochee Hills, Ga.: Voicer Elizabeth Forel claims horse-drawn carriages are not a $15 million business because she claims that the drivers only report a fraction of what they bring in. She also claims it’s not a top tourist attraction. If $15 million is only a fraction of the total, then it would certainly be a top tourist attraction in any city on Earth. Regardless, it supports 300 jobs and 220 horses, so it’s certainly a viable industry. What is “inhumane” is closing these businesses down and making the horses homeless and the people unemployed merely to further an extremist animal “rights” agenda that has no basis in reality.
