PYROTECHNICAL TORMENT?

One of the most selfish things that unselfish people do is attend and support fireworks displays. I imagine that's because most people don't consider what a nightmare fireworks displays are to innocent and unprepared animals.  During every major fireworks holiday like the upcoming Fourth of July many thousands of animals nationwide, both domestic and wild will become injured or even die from fear, confusion, disorientation, and the harmful effects of fireworks remnants.  While you're enjoying the exciting spectacle, your community shelters and animal organizations are deluged with reports of dead birds, injured wildlife, terrified strays, and missing family pets. I used to love fireworks. But I love animals more. So now the sound of colorful explosions doesn't signify celebration so much as it does animal cruelty.
