A horse used to draw one of the city's carriages was killed yesterday morning at around 9.45am in Dalt Murada. It would seem that the horse suddenly bolted, crashed into a wall and was killed and that the cause of this was that it panicked when a tourist went to pet it.

Time to stop this tourist atrocity. Stop the use of horses as an amusement.
While it's sad about the horse,it's very fortunate that nobody was killed or injured.
