Environmental and animal welfare organisations are once again warning about the dangers of fireworks and firecrackers, urging people to celebrate Christmas and New Year without pyrotechnics that can cause severe stress to animals and distress to people.
Fireworks and firecrackers may add to the festive atmosphere, but sudden loud bangs and bright flashes can trigger intense fear and anxiety in both humans and animals, the Four Paws Foundation wrote in a post on Facebook.
“New Year’s Eve is one of the most stressful nights of the year for pets. Many show signs of anxiety such as trembling and hiding, and in many cases attempt to run away,” Four Paws said, adding that pyrotechnics also cause stress to wildlife and contribute to environmental pollution.
“The holidays are approaching – let’s celebrate them with consideration for the world around us,” urged the conservation organisation Green Balkans.
The group recalled a case near the town of Koprivshtitsa, where birds were found dead or injured, believed to have fallen victim to stress caused by the use of fireworks.
