After more than 70 years, the Los Angeles declined to extend the lease of the Griffith Park Pony Rides. The decision followed protests by animal welfare activists who claimed the ponies were overworked and neglected.
A long line of families queued outside the Griffith Park Pony Rides on Sunday, hoping for one last stroll around the arena track before it closed later this week.
“We are lending our voices to the animals who can’t speak for themselves,” said Maria Rios, 27, of Riverside, who held a sign that read, “Animals don’t need jobs.” The reaction from customers to the impending shutdown has been mixed, with some expressing concern for the well-being of the animals and others mourning the end of a Griffith Park tradition that dates to 1948.
