Basant: What You Can Do to Protect Animals
π§Ή Collect fallen kite strings from rooftops, streets, and trees
ποΈ Dispose of strings properly β cut them into small pieces before throwing them away
ππ Stay alert for tangled animals in your area
π§£ If an animal is tangled but calm: gently pick them up, wrap them in a cloth, and take them to the nearest vet
β Do NOT pull out the string if it is cutting into flesh, this can cause severe bleeding, especially for birds.
π³ Avoid flying kites near trees where birds nest
π€ Encourage others to celebrate Basant responsibly and kindly
