  The San Antonio City Council will vote on a timeline to phase out the horse-drawn carriage industry next month — the only question is how long they'll give them.

The article from TPR discusses the potential impact on horse carriage owners and workers in San Antonio if the City Council decides to shut down the industry. The city's Animal Care Services has proposed a ban on horse-drawn carriages, citing concerns over animal welfare, particularly in extreme weather conditions. This proposal has led to significant concern among those employed in the industry, who fear losing their livelihoods. The article highlights the personal stories of carriage operators, detailing their emotional and financial attachment to their horses and the business. It also mentions the ongoing debate between animal rights activists, who support the ban, and the carriage operators, who argue for better regulations rather than an outright ban. The City Council is expected to make a decision soon, leaving the future of this traditional industry in limbo.
