A group of animal rights activists gathered at 6th and Market Streets on Saturday afternoon to protest the city’s only remaining carriage-horse tour company. They carried signs reading “Horses Deserve Freedom” and “Carriage Horses Suffer” — and a petition calling for a city ban on carriage horses. They had their cell phones at the ready to document even the slightest sign of animal mistreatment.
