End torture on draught animals

I wholeheartedly support the views of Professor Dorie LaRue regarding the abuse and torture of horses in old Dhaka in a letter published in The Daily Star on 27 June 2014. The description of the tortured cart drawing horses of old Dhaka is realistic and very painful. The way these helpless and speechless animals are treated and abused is not acceptable to anyone who has a slight kindness in his or her heart.
Therefore, I would like to request the government to ban the use of horses or any kind of animals for drawing carts or doing any other torturous jobs.
