Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey Log, what does it mean to consider horses during the election campaign?
Log: Well, the election management committee in Abira Town, Hokkaido, is trying to impose sound volume restrictions on campaign activities around the farms. They want to keep it quiet for the horses.
Chako: Horses are affected by elections too? Wow, that’s the first I’ve heard of that!
Navi: Horses are sensitive to sound, and loud noises during election campaigns can cause them stress. Efforts to maintain quiet are important for protecting the living environment of both the horses and the nearby residents.
Log: I see, so that’s the reasoning behind it. We have to consider not just the local people but the animals as well during election campaigns.
Chako: Exactly! It’s important to make sure everyone can enjoy their surroundings comfortably!

Admin’s Note

This news has provided a new perspective on election campaigns. In particular, I believe it’s important to remember to consider the local animals and residents during the election process. Elections are a platform for reflecting people’s opinions, but it’s essential to think about the impact on the surrounding community as well. I hope that such initiatives continue to expand in the future.
