PETALING JAYA: As fireworks season is here again with the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri, animal rights groups are reminding pet owners and the public how to keep pets safe amid the thunderous noise and bright flashes.
Selangor Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals chairman Christine Chin said cats and dogs are easily frightened by loud noises such as those from vehicles, fireworks and firecrackers.
“As for dogs, they are very easily pacified. Just stand next to your dog and it will calm down,” said Chin when asked yesterday.“They can find an empty area outside neighbourhoods or any fields far from houses,” she said. “It’s an unhealthy reaction when animals get scared as this will lead to them being traumatised and stressed out.
Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better said people who are going away to celebrate the festivities must either take their pets with them or ensure the chosen boarding facility is not overcrowded. Overcrowding at the Petknode Online Pet Store boarding centre resulted in some pet cats dying and many more falling gravely ill, said Low.
