Recent signers:
Christian Wegenschimmel and 19 others have signed recently.

The Issue

We, the undersigned, urge the Government of Guyana to implement a nationwide ban on the use of horse and donkey carts on public roads.

🚨 Why This Matters:
Many horses and donkeys are overworked, malnourished, and mistreated.
Animal-drawn carts often cause traffic accidents and slow down vehicles, creating road safety hazards.
This outdated practice is inhumane and out of place in a modern society.
🐾 We Call On:

The Government of Guyana
The Ministry of Home Affairs
The Ministry of Agriculture
Local government officials and law enforcement
🛑 We Demand:
A ban on animal-drawn carts in all public spaces,
Support cart owners in transitioning to humane, motorized alternatives.
Enforcement of animal welfare laws and rescue for mistreated animals.
Let’s protect both animals and the public. Join us in demanding a more compassionate and modern transportation policy.
