This article’s objective is to describe the experience of visiting São Lourenço city (MG), and its focus is on the use of animals in touristic activity. The article brings up a brief discussion on morals and ethics, and suggests, besides changes in the State’s view on animals, the construction of a new ethic for tourism. In order to achieve this, a descriptive research was made, along with a case study and document analysis, enabled by a participative view with the insertion of the researcher in the presented reality. It is expected that each visitor may rethink their concepts towards the use of horse-drawn carts in touristic sites and, from that fact, to suggest a constitutive moral, which transforms itself into a constituted moral.
