Diwali does not promote animal cruelty

We don't need religion to practice humanity

The earliest documentation of the invention of fireworks dates back to seventh century China. It was not invented by Hindus!

Sri Raam returned to Ayodhya way before that, which led to the beginning of Diwali!

According to Santhan Dharma (Hinduism) it’s not possible to honour God while harming his innocent creatures as it goes against the principles of Ahimsa (non-violence in thought, word and deed).

So please let’s have a happy and a joyful Diwali with animal friendly fireworks as the loud bangs are torturous to them and it’s not possible to sedate each and every single stray. Why not donate that money to charity instead?

We don’t need religion to practice humanity!
