Paris will ban Pony Rides for children in public parks starting in 2025 following a campaign by animal rights activists. The ban comes after years of lobbying and demonstrations by the animal rights group Paris Animaux Zoopolis. The group welcomed the ban, stating that it represents an important step towards ending the exploitation of animals for leisure. Paris City Hall had previously introduced a charter for the well-being of ponies and decided to phase out licenses for pony-riding business operators. However, some locals believe the ban is unnecessary and that pony rides are a harmless form of children's entertainment.
