“Our New Year’s revelry is like a terrifying battlefield for cats, dogs and other animals whose ears are far more sensitive than humans. It’s like being subjected to ear-splitting acoustical torture for them,†lamented Aileen Lucero, Iwas PapuToxic Campaigner of the EcoWaste Coalition.
“We can stop this cruel aggression against our animal friends by saying no to firecrackers and fireworks,†she pleaded.
According to veterinarians, exposure to firecracker explosions can cause acoustic trauma for animals, especially for dogs and cats, because their sense of hearing is no less than 10 times more delicate than that of humans.
They can also get poisoned from eating firecracker wrappers and residues laced with harmful chemicals.
Panic resulting from firecracker explosions can cause stomach upsets or discourage animals from taking their meals.
Among those who came to express their solidarity with animals were the representatives of the Diocese of Caloocan Ecology Ministry, Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives, Malaya, Philippine Animal Welfare Society, Piglas Kabataan and the Rotaract Club of Rotary Club North Bay East.
