Woidke-led Ponyn procession arranged - Historian's Horse-Drawn Procession: Woidke's Equestrian Manifestation for Peace
Hey there! Let's dive into the tale of Brandenburg's Minister President, Dietmar Woidke (SPD) bidding adieu to a gang of horse-drawn carriages embarking on a path to Jerusalem. As they set off for their peace mission, Woidke wished the passengers "May our world become a little more peaceful." He added, "If not more peaceful, then at least a bit more thoughtful."
The upcoming convoy includes several carriages, a peace bell, and kicks off in Berlin this Thursday - marking the end of World War II. The sojourn, covering approximately 4,800 kilometers, is estimated to reach Bethlehem, Israel, by Christmas Eve. The journey's goal is to cover 25 kilometers a day with horsepower, with six days dedicated to the horses and the seventh as a much-needed rest day.
PETA Raises Red Flags
Animal rights juggernaut, PETA, has expressed concerns for the welfare of these four-legged heroes. "The horses wouldn't voluntarily choose the grueling 4,800 km journey in sweltering summer heat or the dangerous roads. Climates, diseases lurking in southern regions, and ceaseless risk of accidents endanger the animals," says PETA.
Carriage drivers refute excessive strain
However, one driver of a carriage shared differing views, stating that horses naturally cover 25 kilometers a day. Together with change horses in the convoy, the animals are allowed to get their rest. Medical care is on standby, with a vet in tow.
Factors to Consider
- Animal Welfare: Proper care, nutrition, and veterinary attention are critical for safeguarding the horses' well-being during long rides.
- PETA's stance: PETA generally opposes animal use for transportation or entertainment based on concerns about exploitation and animal welfare.
- Legal and Ethical Considerations: Local animal welfare laws and regulations must be followed in each location traversed by the convoy.
- Logistical Challenges: The journey requires addressing diverse climatic conditions, providing appropriate food, water, housing, and veterinary care at each stop.
- Public Perception and Support: Winning public approval relies on transparency about the care and treatment of the horses throughout the journey.
