HSUS Genesis Awards "Best Documentary" for Humane Issues Goes to NYC Anti-Carriage Film "Blinders"
News Flash! Another award for the documentary film Blinders, condemning the New York City tradition of carriage rides around Central Park and midtown. Blinders was honored last night at the Humane Society of the United States' Genesis Awards, a gala star-studded evening in Los Angeles to honor media's role in publicizing humane-related issues. Should they stay or should they go? Are they cruel or are they kind? Carriage rides are still a hot button issue around the world. There's no question which side of the issue this documentary is on. Here's the trailer:Labels: Awards, Blinders, carriage, Genesis, Hollywood, HSUS

Interesting that we don't see anyone making similar commentary about NYPD mounted units. I have witnessed "green" cops unable to control their horses, running down the middle of the street (and they ride in a double bridle).
I'm not saying that the carriage horse industry is humane or not, just that they are an easy target.
