A first in Belgium: GAIA organises the first, official, animal-friendly low noise fireworks display
“A significant and undeniable advance in animal welfare, without neglecting the festive spirit”
During a spectacular show lasting nearly a quarter of an hour, local and regional representatives could see and hear the real potential offered by this alternative type of display, which is more respectful of animals. It was a positive message for Secretary of State Bianca Debaets, who supported the event. “Local authorities and individuals need to take animals into consideration when they use fireworks,” she stressed, adding: “I will urge my colleagues of the 19 municipalities in the Brussels region to switch to low-noise fireworks displays as soon as possible.”
One further argument for low-noise fireworks should be noted: as well as being resolutely more animal-friendly, their cost is approximately the same as their classic equivalent.
