It's happening
Tomorrow, all of our hard work from the last year comes to fruition. Humane voters like you will make history by electing the first ever pro-animal Mayor, Bill de Blasio, and dozens of animal-friendly City Council Members.
If we show our paw power at the polls tomorrow, we’ll finally be in position to end the abuse of carriage horses and fix our city's animal shelter system.

Live on television last Tuesday night, both candidates for NYC Mayor, Bill de Blasio and Joe Lhota, pledged to end the inhumane horse carriage industry. For the first time in American history, animal protection is playing a huge role in a major election. This is a momentous milestone for the humane voter movement.

Another accident
Just a few days ago in Salt Lake City, a carriage horse named Jerry collapsed in the heat and died shortly after. Now, imagine if this had happened in NYC -- would Christine Quinn have helped the poor horses? NEIGH!
That's why we need to elect leaders with the guts to do the right thing. Every major candidate for Mayor except Quinn has pledged to stop this abusive industry. Can you volunteer for voter outreach this weekend?
