It is that part of the year when playing with colors and water gives uncontrolled joy to people. Don't get me wrong, I like a festival just like the next person, but my heart goes out for the animals who reside on streets. They become unwitting participants of this occasion, whether or not they are interested, colors are smeared on to them. This results in skin infection and pain for these guys.
Normally these guys drink water from gutters or any other water accumulations in the area. However, on the grand day of Holi, they would get water every where and unsuspectingly they will drink it as well ingesting colors and other harmful chemicals.
Wastage of water topic opens up another can of worms all together, which I would not want to tread here.
All I am trying to say here is enjoy the festival but please do not make it difficult or a sad affair for these poor creatures who live on the road; leave them be and if possible please be pro-active to provide them with clean water for the day or so.
