I hate fireworks, and while I am a bit of a curmudgeon, that isn’t the reason. The reason is that my dog is absolutely terrified of them and shakes all over and wants me to sit on the bathroom floor and hide with him until the scary noises stop. So today I’m sending out a heartfelt fuck you to all the people who ignored city ordinances and shot off fireworks in city limits last night. If you don’t care about dogs and cats, at least consider the veterans you may be triggering.
It’s completely illegal to set off unlicensed fireworks in the park behind us;
-in a city park (bylaw infraction)
-within 300 meters of a seniors residence (bylaw infraction),
-within 1 NM of an aerodrome (Transport Canada federal air safety regulations).
Still and all, there’s at least one or 2 fireworks gangs who blast away from dusk onward.
Pets freak out, wild animals are disrupted, people are shocked and/or traumatized by it. It’s ignorant and stupid.
