Why does Christine Quinn hate animals?

As the New York mayoral race heats up, one animal-rights group is continuing its efforts to make Christine Quinn look like a horse’s you-know-what. New Yorkers for Clean, Livable and Safe Streets, or NYclass, the nonprofit group that wants to put an end to carriage horses in Central Park and elsewhere in the city, has launched another website attacking the City Council speaker, who in some polls tracked by CNN has been losing ground to former U.S. Rep. Anthony Wiener in the race for the Democratic nomination.

On Thursday, the group launched Quinn Hates Animals, which details what it sees as the many anti-animal decisions that punctuate Quinn’s political record. Among those decisions are her opposition to a bill that would have required sprinklers in pet stores and her support of the controversial carriage-horse industry.

“Christine Quinn has not been a friend to NYC’s animals,” Allie Feldman, executive director of NYclass, said in a statement. “We urge New Yorkers to visit out site to learn more about just how little empathy Quinn shows to our city’s four-legged residents.”
