I went to college for acting,
and the fact that now I'm sitting naked |
| 00:00:05 |
00:00:10 |
on the top of plastic horse..
Yeah, no, I never thought that. |
| 00:00:10 |
00:00:15 |
Now I am ready.
Now I'm ready to fight those carriage drivers. |
| 00:00:16 |
00:00:20 |
This is Christine Johnson.
And this is my new boyfriend, Axel. |
| 00:00:21 |
00:00:25 |
And we're here for PETA.
I love you. - Great laying down, baby. |
| 00:00:25 |
00:00:31 |
Thanks guys. Well my friend Jackie
saw the movie Blinders |
| 00:00:32 |
00:00:35 |
and was really affected by it.
And she is one of my best friends |
| 00:00:35 |
00:00:42 |
she asked me to come to New York premier
and I went, and I was blown away |
| 00:00:42 |
00:00:47 |
by the story and how these horses live.
or actually I should say don't live. |
| 00:00:48 |
00:00:53 |
This just seemed something
that was so ridiculous and outdated |
| 00:00:53 |
00:01:00 |
so I really can see why people
furious about it. They go from this horrible |
| 00:01:01 |
00:01:06 |
trotting job where they're pulling people
through the streets of Manhattan |
| 00:01:07 |
00:01:13 |
to this tiny jail cell in this building
on the ninth floor. |
| 00:01:13 |
00:01:19 |
And it's horrible. And I also didn't know
that horses need room to sleep. |
| 00:01:19 |
00:01:23 |
I didn't know they lay down, |
| 00:01:23 |
00:01:25 |
I don't know why,
I just never thought of it. |
| 00:01:25 |
00:01:32 |
I mean, try propping me up
for 10 years and I'll tell you, it ain't pretty. |
| 00:01:32 |
00:01:35 |
I'd see the tourists who were considering
coming to New York. |
| 00:01:36 |
00:01:41 |
There is so much amazing stuff
about Manhattan, it's my favorite city |
| 00:01:42 |
00:01:46 |
in the world. It always will be.
And please do something else. |
| 00:01:47 |
00:01:52 |
Oh my god, just take a walk.
That's how I feel. |
| 00:01:52 |
00:01:57 |
And I hope within the next year
that there are no more carriage horses. |
| 00:01:57 |
00:01:58 |
Just cut it now, I'm done.
-That was great. |
