Deniz the Horse Dies in Central Park

A sixteen-year-old carriage horse named Deniz died tragically in Central Park after ingesting toxic Japanese yew needles, sparking outrage and reigniting the debate over horse-drawn carriages. The union insists Deniz was healthy and simply grazed on a shrub, blaming park officials for failing to warn of deadly plants. Central Park Conservancy counters that drivers must ensure animal safety and pushes for a ban. Governor Hochul vows to investigate toxic plants near animals, while city council debates new legislation—either banning carriage horses or studying their welfare further.
