    🚨There is ample evidence of criminal animal abuse of Ryder by Ian McKeever - longtime owner of several horses/carriages in NYC. @ManhattanDA is investigating. @TWULocal100 and @TwuSamuelsen profits from this abuse and has NOT suspended Ian or placed Ryder in a sanctuary yet.

    NYC carriage horses can’t go to cooling centers @NYCMayor. They’re forced to pull heavy carriages in deadly heat by heartless owners like Ian McKeever who is being prosecuted for criminal animal cruelty for working Ryder to death. It’s time to #BanHorseCarriages #RydersLaw

    A graphic showing someone sitting inside a library reading a book. Text reads Beat The Heat: heat is dangerous and kills hundreds of New Yorkers each year. Protect yourself, your loved ones, and your community with the right resources to keep cool this summer. NYC.Gov/BeatTheHeat
    This week will be hot, and there are cooling centers across New York City that will open starting Tuesday. Visit finder.nyc.gov/coolingcenters to find locations, including places you can bring your pets. Share this with your neighbors, so we can all stay safe this week!

    We thank @CMSalamancaJr for signing on as a cosponsor today to #RydersLaw - Intro 967 to finally put an end to heinous horse carriage abuse. Ian McKeever is being prosecuted by @ManhattanDA for criminally abusing Ryder, but 68+ other horses suffer daily. It needs to end.
