Are Ponies Being Treated With Cruelty At The New Coney Rides?

Gowanus Lounge writes:
The five ponies and the ride are ostensibly part of a petting zoo set up on developer Joe Sitt’s property. Whether one considers the attraction and the sight of ponies chained to such a device and forced to endlessly walk in circles depends on one’s perspective.

Luckily, the ponies will only be going in circles here for only two weeks.
