I'm an animal lover, and an 'exciting exploding things that go bang' lover.. I had dogs, cats, and lound fireworks when I was a kid, and no problems with petrified pets... Surely thr 21st Century human race has not become so thick and intolerant, that we can't work out an effective compromise... Yes, I've seen the petition circulating to ban, or heavily restrict, or only manufacture and sell 'silent' fireworks... [that reminds me of those pointless pathetic safe shite indoor fireworks of childhood bordom] Doting cat owners would surely enjoy dressing their spoiled felines with cute daft looking sound protected ear muffs.. Likewise dog owners, etc.. Think of the photo opportunities for pet crazy social media sites... Now to the slightly more serious part; Ex combat veterans, suffering ptsd, ARE making a more convincing case for sympathy and consideration regarding fireworks, though accept the onus is on themselves making their own intelligent arrangement to be safe and secure whenever the noise kicks off... I have far more empathy for them, than the moaning entitled old 'poor nervous pussy' worshippers bombarding social media with anti firework agitation...
