Tips To Make Diwali Inclusive & Animal-Friendly

This Diwali, when you light up your lives and residences, keep in mind that the harsh lighting may not be conducive to pets and animals who you share your spaces with. Animals are particularly sensitive to harsh sounds since they have greater hearing than humans and are easily frightened by high decibel sounds during our celebrations.

During the time of festivities, it is common to witness animals trembling in fear, causing sadness, loss of appetite, and hearing impairment. Animals can get terrified by pollution, light, noise, and may even get wounded by firecrackers.

Here are some animal-friendly ways to celebrate Diwali...

Ensuring comfort

Remember that the loud sounds of firecrackers not only disturb pets but also expose animals to danger. Opting for a quieter celebration fosters a compassionate environment. When you close the doors and windows of your home to reduce the noise pollution levels, consider opening your garages to provide animals, especially strays, safe spaces. This gesture will not only keep them calm and stress-free but will also promote inclusivity during the festivities.
