Ayoko ng paputok.”ADVERTISEMENTThe group PAWS was joined by environmental group EcoWaste Coalition in calling for a total firecracker ban, giving voice to cats and dogs who “lack the power to speak and defend themselves” against firecrackers and fireworks. “As they cannot speak for themselves, we need to speak out in defense of cats and dogs who suffer a lot from the deafening mayhem, especially on New Year’s eve,” EcoWaste national coordinator Aileen Lucero said. PAWS executive director Anna Cabrera also lamented the plight of hundreds of stray dogs and cats in the streets suffering from trauma when firecrackers are thrown at them. PAWS is also sharing these helpful tips to help cats and dogs cope with the firecracker explosions on New Year’s eve.
