This incident sparked outrage on social media because they indicate that it is animal abuse, as many people point out that the horse is very tired and that is why it fell, and they indicate that there are electric buggies, which should all be like that.
However, the animal did not faint, but it seemed that it was difficult for him to get back on his feet, so others commented that there was an oil stain on the road that would have made him slip, so after a minute and a half that lasted the video (1:33), finally with the help of his caregivers he manages to get up and continue walking.
The truth is that when the horse fell on the pavement while pulling the buggy with tourists, it immediately attracted the astonished gaze of passersby, who stopped walking, some just to look at what was happening and others to also record with their cell phones.
In the video, it is possible to see that the event would have occurred on 62nd Street between 55th and 57th, just a few blocks from the Plaza Grande.
A female voice is also heard, perhaps from someone recording the unexpected scene in the heart of Mérida, when she says “that is why animals should not be used for these types of tasks.”
