Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?

300 million lbs of fireworks and 2.7 billion dollars gone in a cloud of smoke.
You're viewing a single thread.
in this part of the world, we are blessed with stray dogs who are also protected by our supreme court. it's quite literally against the law, for example, to prohibit the feeding of strays by animal lovers.
i once saw one of them shudder and whine at the sound of fireworks. its tail scrunched under and it pissed itself in fear and confusion. its plaintive moans were drowned out by the incessant blasts of the "mala" crackers (a literal garland of 10,000 or so crackers strung out in sequence that goes on bursting for an hour or so). the poor thing just did not know what was happening and it became a shivering ball of anxiety until the blasts stopped.
anyone who sees an innocent animal suffer like that will never, ever, want to light a firecracker again.
I hate fourth of july because of this. Fuck your declaration of independence, i piss on it. My dog hid under the bed. I fed her some chicken hearts to calm her down, and received many belly rubs.
How sweet of her to rub your belly in return for treats!
But forreal yeah one of our cats stays anxious for a full week after hearing fireworks, so fucking upsetting
LOL. My dog is always very happy and mischievous but during fourth of july i can tell something’s off with her.
