Concert for Animals is a free broadcast this Tuesday evening, from 6.00 pm to midnight, it’s intent is to reduce the harm fireworks caused to animals every year on Guy Fawkes night.

SPCA scientific officer, Dr. Alison Vaughan says,

Many of the pieces had already been used in animal research, and included classical works and “soft rock”.

Most of the Concert for Animals music will be “soothing, cheerful, slow and not too low” in pitch – the latter could be “alarming” for animals, she said.

The SPCA has long called for the private sale and use of fireworks to be banned. In the meantime, they remain focused on controlling it the best they can.

Concert for Animals, 5 November, 6pm-midnight. Listen on RNZ Concert or stream at rnz.co.nz/concert or on the RNZ App
