As the fireworks and celebrations are underway, Animals around South Australia will be terrified by the loud noises and lights. With some animal hearing around 10 times more sensitive than human, that loud bang from a firework that makes you jump, can send your pets into unmanageable panic. It's not just dogs either, as the RSPCA prepares for a 30 percent increase in housing of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses and all kinds of domesticated animals.
With many revellers heading out to enjoy the celebrations, RSPCA SA chief inspector Simon Richards said it is value treating your animals like they are young children. If possible, organize a friend that is not caption out to baby sit your pet animals. If you do return home and find your animal is missing, Simon recommends calling councils, local vets, the RSPCA and Animal Welfare League. If travelling on the roads whilst fireworks displays are happening, or heading home after the events, also ensure you are aware that Animal charities may be fleeing or in a panicked state, and may flit out in front of vehicles
