FILE - In this Saturday, July 21, 2018 file photo, a man rides a horse cart with tourists in Buyukada, the largest and most popular of the Princes' Islands in the Sea of Marmara near Istanbul. Local authorities announced Thursday, Dec. 19, 2019, that they have culled 81 horses on the island following an outbreak of a deadly equine disease. A quarantine has been put into place, barring the entry and exit of animals on the island to prevent the disease's spread. Most of the horses on Buyukada are used to pull carriages as motor vehicles are banned on the island. The outbreaks come as Turkey is considering banning the horse-drawn carriages on Buyukada, following reports that dozens of horses were killed as a result of cruelty or abuse by owners.(AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis, File)
