Answer

What kind of conditions can be stressful for animals in a festival procession?

Animals can become stressed by loud noise, dense crowds, long waiting times, vehicle engines, and lack of space. In a festival setting, even familiar animals may react badly if they are surrounded by constant movement or placed in unsuitable transport conditions. For that reason, festivals with animals need careful planning and close supervision.
