The escalating debate over carriage horses in New York City has gotten personal.
Dozens of protestors gathered outside actor Liam Neeson’s Upper West Side condo on Saturday to take the issue right to his door.
Neeson is a supporter of the horses staying on the streets, but PETA and Mayor Bill de Blasio want them gone.
On Saturday, 50 People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals supporters gathered outside of the actor’s home with signs and slogans like “Liam Neeson: Stop Supporting Cruelty!” and “Worked to Death!”
A statement from PETA Senior Vice President Dan Mathews to GossipCop reads: “Neeson and his carriage cronies – who are working with horse-slaughter proponents – are willfully misleading the public about the routine cruelty that horses in New York’s carriage industry endure.”
Neeson did not appear during the protest, and he has not commented on the situation.
