How Festivals Affect Animals Around Us

By Han Yeseo, September 16, 2025

Every year, thousands of people enjoy the fireworks by the Han River, but not everyone is happy about this festival.

While humans are celebrating, wild animals living near the Han River feel stress and danger. Loud sounds can make birds fly away from their nests, and some animals lose their safe homes.

Pets, such as dogs and cats, also suffer during fireworks. Many owners say their pets shake, hide, or bark all night. The bright lights and noises are too strong for small animals, and sometimes they even run away.

“We love to see fireworks, but my dog is very scared every year. She doesn’t eat or sleep well when the festival happens,” said Ms. Kim, a local resident.

I think we must find better ways to celebrate, because animals are harmed by the Han River fireworks. If people and animals can both be safe, the festival will be happier for everyone.
