The proposed legislation prohibits owners from selling horses to slaughterhouses, specifying that animals must be handled in a ’humane manner’

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story as New York moving to ban horse-drawn carriages, and both link that shift to City Hall and the council. The Independent uniquely foregrounds the death of a teenage tourist in Central Park and the age of the carriage industry, while The Guardian US instead emphasizes that Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the council leader have agreed on a ban and that the carriages are a long-scrutinized tourist attraction.
