I feel for the animals, but it’s the end of an era.

An era of seeing tourists do tourist things, and smelling horse shit in central Park?

  • I mean, there's human shit in Central Park. I once watched some genteel ladies hilariously clean up before an Easter egg hunt one morning. Surprise!

    If you want to prioritize removing one type of Central Park shit, the list is probably human then dog then pigeon then horse.

    • Ok I’ll bite:

      30 horses in the park, 6h per horse per day, uniform pooping

      Call it 14 kg of feces per day per horse

      Humans shit ~100g/day

      115k park visitors a day

      For humans to match that horse output, nearly 1% of all daily visitors would have to be pooping on the ground…

      Granted, the horses have waste catchers, but even under a 90% efficiency regime it’s still 10kg of horseshit spread over the lower loop
