An animal welfare and environmental protection group called on the public to refrain from using firecrackers on New Year's Eve as these could bring harmful effects to animals, particularly to cats and dogs.

In a joint press statement Friday, the Philippine Animal Welfare Society and the EcoWaste Coalition reminded the public that"loud bangs, booms, crackling noises, and whistles" from firecrackers and fireworks are distressing for cats and dogs, especially for those on the streets.

She added that celebrating the New Year can be made possible without firecrackers, considering how much pets suffer from"severe anxiety and fear from the firecracker blasts." Citing Pet Poison Helpline, the groups noted that pets can develop gastrointestinal problems like vomiting, painful abdomen, and bloody diarrhea when firecrackers or fireworks are ingested, the severity of which will depend on the type and amount of firecrackers or fireworks ingested.
