Pink and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have launched a new campaign to protect the carriage horses in New York City.
The campaign seeks to alert people to the suffering of the horses and urges them to take action against the hansom cabs.
Speaking to MTV News, the singer explained: "Manhattan's carriage horses suffer a miserable, solitary life shackled to a carriage and pulling load after heavy load of tourists, many of whom look like they could use the exercise themselves."
Pink wants to see the carriages banned and is encouraging others to support this campaign: "New York should follow the lead of London, Paris, Toronto, Beijing and progressive U.S. cities that have decided horse-drawn carriages and big city traffic don't mix."
