Nellie Mackay testifies supporting ban
Nellie Mackay, a longtime animal rights activist, testifies briefly in support of the ban, urging retirement of horses to sanctuaries.
Oh, thank you.
My name is Nellie Mackay, and I've been going to protests against the carriage horses since I was a little girl, so it's been a very long time.
And so I am here in support of Intro 943.
As you have heard from so many people, these horses work in the sweltering heat and the freezing cold.
They're easily spooked.
They work next to loud, unpredictable vehicles and machinery.
This exploitative and dangerous industry has gone on long enough, so please retire the horses to a caring sanctuary.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you to this panel.
Really appreciate you staying.
Appreciate your testimony.
It's very important to us, so thank you.
Okay, Karen Kapnick.

Farratt is the last name on this, F-I-R-A-T.
