The recent news of a New York City carriage horse's death has drawn strong responses from animal organizations and celebrity advocates like Lea Michele.

Another carriage horse collapsed in Midtown yesterday around 6 p.m. on West 60th Street near Broadway. A supporter of New Yorkers for Clean, Livable and Safe Streets shot a video clip of the horse on the ground.

For the second time in less than two weeks, a carriage horse has collapsed on a Manhattan street.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A horse collapsed while pulling a carriage at the intersection of 60th Street and Broadway on Friday, right in the middle of the evening commute.

Another accident involving a carriage horse in New York has prompted senator Tony Avella to make a renewed call to ban the horse-drawn carriage industry.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg showed little empathy this morning for Charlie, the draft horse that dropped dead in the middle of a Midtown street.

Mayor Mike Bloomberg signaled once again this week that he has no interest in banning the city's horse-drawn carriages, just days after an equine toiler collapsed and died in midtown.

Unsurprisingly, the recent sad picture featuring a horse collapsed on West 54th Street bolstered support for opponents of Central Park's horse-drawn carriages, which have long been seen as cruel to the animals (not to mention cheesy). Michael Bloomberg, however, seemed baffled by the outcry.
