Animal Lovers Protest Horse Diapers

VIENNA, Austria - A plan by city fathers to diaper carriage-drawing horses in order to keep streets clean has animal lovers and horsemen up in arms.

Donning diapers themselves, animal rights activists lined up at Heroes' Square in front of the former imperial Hofburg Palace Thursday to protest the plan. The protesters claim the proposal — meant to keep horse droppings from sullying the streets of the historic capital city — would inflict unnecessary suffering on the animals.

"The diapers would restrict the horses' movement and would rub, causing wounds," said Attila Cerman, a spokesman for Four Paws, the group that organized the protest.

Drivers of the traditional carriages — whose rides through the city's historic downtown streets are popular with tourists — said they, too, were opposed to the diapers.

Opponents say that the diapers would prevent the horses from being able to flick away flies with their tails. vThe animal rights activists urged city officials to instead reduce the number of horse-drawn carriages and deploy more cleanup teams armed with brooms and scoops to clean up the droppings.

They also claimed that the diapers would do nothing to fight the main source of horse-caused stench — urine.

    These wackos always crack me up. Horses wear saddles, cinches, bridles, bits, harnesses, etc. with no problem, and these dorks say a friggin' diaper would rub and cause wounds. Uh-huh, right.

    Perhaps a better way to eliminate the eliminations would be for these head cases to eat them.

    Check out that tongue action!
    Never fear.....TJ's here!
