Imperial Valley residents look for pets spooked during fireworks
Humane Society of Imperial Valley believes about 100 pets left their homes after July 4 - News 11 s Wiley Jawhary reports
IMPERIAL, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The day after Fourth of July means that some pets are without a home, that s because according to the National Humane Society, fireworks cause disorientation in many pets resulting in them running away out of fear.
In the Imperial Valley, social media has been slammed with photos of missing pets today. Many pet owners and volunteers are on the streets in search.
The 5th of July, a day dreaded by some pet owners. Fireworks and pets scattered the streets. Disorientation and anxiety are the effects that some dogs and cats experience as we celebrate our freedom.
State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) has introduced legislation to prohibit the use of dogs and cats for toxicity testing for products such as pesticides, food, and drugs. This bill exempts the testing of pet products and biomedical products. Dogs and cats should not be subjected to unnecessary and inhumane toxicity testing that doesn t have useful health outcomes, Wiener, a gay man, said in a news release. We should make sure that if testing is done on dogs and cats, that it is humane and has an actual medical value. Animals deserve better treatment and should not be subjected to harmful testing simply because they can t say no.
