钢铁码头退役传奇潜水马

潜水马终于被赶出了牧场.

大西洋城钢铁码头的老板表示,在动物权利活动人士提出激烈批评之后,他正在放弃将传说中的潜水马带回来的计划。从20世纪20年代到70年代在码头上奔跑的这一行为的特点是一匹马和一名骑手从一个40英尺高的平台深入12英尺深的坦克.

安东尼卡塔诺索家族拥有这座历史悠久的码头,他周二告诉美联社,他不再有兴趣恢复一个吸引力,使这个码头世界闻名于上世纪.

“我们只是觉得,自从大西洋城向前发展,我们应该继续前进,”他说。 “我们应该为游客创造新的记忆,而不是重新创造旧记忆。”

卡塔诺索曾在1993年恢复该法案,但在动物权利活动人士发生类似抗议活动两个月后将其关闭.

他设想潜水马是翻新的钢铁码头的核心部分,是当地和州政府官员策划的赌场整体改造的一部分.

他在最近决定拔掉跳水马的决定时淡化了公众反对的重要性,但承认抗议活动确实造成了损失.

“这种消极情绪 – 我们不希望这会干扰我们正在努力做的积极事情,”他说.

对马有害?

Catanoso提议在本月早些时候重新启动该法案,当时大西洋城的Boardwalk,赌场区和坪区的大规模重建计划已经公布。但几天之内,动物权利活动人士就表示反对.

美国人道协会表示,其成员“强烈反对马潜水行为,这些行为使动物在训练,运输和表现过程中受到不人道和潜在的虐待。这些动物承受的压力和创伤,除了他们受伤的风险,使这些行为无法接受。“

反对网站charge.org上的行为的请愿书在一天内获得了10,000个签名.

卡塔诺索说,他广泛研究了这一行为,包括与过去的表演者交谈。在一份新闻稿中宣布他打算在本月早些时候恢复该行为,他确定没有马在行为中受到伤害.

“通过这项研究,我们确定过去没有发生过虐待或滥用的虐待行为,”他写道。 “新的行为将是人道的,提供马匹一流的护理,在现代安全标准下运作,以保护骑手和马匹,并且不会使马受到虐待。我们理解并分享社区对动物的非人道待遇的关注在过去的20年里,我们一直致力于在大西洋城提供有益健康的家庭娱乐活动。我们致力于实现这一目标,绝不会采取任何会虐待动物的行为。“

抗议者一直试图在下一次娱乐场再投资发展局会议上组织一次示威活动,抗议将潜水马纳入大西洋城重建计划.

虽然潜水马是最引人注目的方面,但钢铁码头正在进行1亿美元的翻新工程,需要3年半的时间,并将成为全年的吸引力。一些工作已在进行中。今年夏天,将有六个新游乐设施,几个新游戏,啤酒花园,新的食品和饮料亭以及码头楼层的重铺路面.

    Diving horse finally kicked out of the ranch. The owner of the Atlantic City Steel Pier said he is abandoning plans to bring back the legendary diving horse after intense criticism from animal rights activists. The act, which ran from the 1920s to the 1970s on the pier, featured a horse and rider diving from a 40-foot platform into a 12-foot tank. The Catanoso family owns the historic pier and he told the Associated Press on Tuesday that he is no longer interested in restoring an attraction that made the pier world-famous in the last century. “We just felt that as Atlantic City moves forward, we should move forward,” he said. “We should create new memories for visitors, not recreate old ones.”

    Catanoso had restored the act in 1993 but closed it two months later after similar protests from animal rights activists. He envisioned the diving horse as a centerpiece of the renovated Steel Pier, part of a larger casino redevelopment plan planned by local and state officials. He downplayed the significance of public opposition in his recent decision to pull the diving horse but acknowledged that the protests did cause damage. “This negativity – we dont want it to interfere with the positive things were trying to do,” he said.

    Catanoso proposed reviving the act earlier this month when a massive rebuilding plan for the Boardwalk, casino district, and Inlet area of Atlantic City was unveiled. But within days, animal rights activists expressed opposition. The Humane Society of the United States said its members “strongly oppose diving horse acts, which subject animals to inhumane and potentially abusive treatment during training, transport, and performance. The stress and trauma these animals endure, in addition to the risk of injury, make these acts unacceptable.” A petition on the protest website charge.org against the act garnered 10,000 signatures in one day.

    Catanoso said he extensively researched the act, including talking to past performers. In a news release announcing his intention to revive the act earlier this month, he determined that no horses were harmed in the act. “Through this research, we have determined that there was no abuse or mistreatment of the horses in the past,” he wrote. “The new act will be humane, providing top-notch care for the horses, operating under modern safety standards to protect both
