To the editor:
His name is Joe Elmore of the Charleston Animal Society. His article on the carriage trade industry told in depth of the serious and sad conditions the animals face daily. I was born in Charleston and grew up downtown where we would see a real carriage with a few tourists or a bride and groom riding around the Battery.
How did we go from that image to huge heavy wagons jammed with 17 people, no weight restrictions, pulled by struggling horses in oppressive heat and congested traffic? We got to where we are today because of the almighty dollar….and a total lack of support from City Hall. It just breaks my heart!
Thank you Mr Elmore for the work you do. Your concerns do not go unnoticed by me and hopefully many others.
