I dont buy fireworks but your idea is great . Instead of buying coffee and something in the am I am going to put the $ in something and each week buy doggie stuff !!
Such a great idea! I am reposting and making signs to in pet stores, libraries, stores, veterinaries, wherever I can. My dogs go through agony every year not to mention what the veterans go through.
Ughh do you really think people will stop being assholes for just one second and do something nice? Like you literally don’t need to shoot off fireworks it’s not fun it’s messy and noisy yeah sometimes it’s pretty but not worth scaring our animal neighbors
Yes , pets are afraid of fireworks. As is all of nature is . Please do not leave your pets alone when humans are setting off fireworks. Terrifying for them.
I was at a fireworks show where the spectacle was there but the noise was not particularly noticeable.
In consumer fireworks I think it's a choice by manufacturers who are following customers seeking big bangs to indulge this, even if it's not necessary.
Find your local shelters wish list and send or bring them what they need. Oftentimes it’s things like paper towels or litter. I do this every time I can.
Around here, east side of San Francisco Bay, fireworks season has already started and will go on for at least 3 more months. Celebration? Or just gleeful imposition of will on everyone else within miles?
personal fireworks should be banned no need for them lots of provinces have events for today and other holidays why does anyone need to light fireworks for? they don't it's harmful usually abusive and unnecessary it's not a toy. Harmful to humans/animals and anyone caught with them should be fined
No problem. Fireworks won't be available or will be too expensive this July 4th. Drone shows are an alternatives (and less smokey) but they too are made in China.
My dog is going to be distraught. He hides in the shower or under my bed with the whites of his eyes showing. It’s insane to do fireworks- and just imagine the fright of all the wild birds and animals.
I have been saying this for years. Fireworks should be banned. They are cruel and selfish.They do so much damage to animals, wildlife and the environment.
Veterans and animals wild and domestic are extremely traumatized by fireworks and it is appalling that people refuse to acknowledge that. Do a little research
Here's another one.. read where your fruits and vegetables are grown. If it states Idaho, don't buy.. if possible. Protest using the pockets, however possible.💰
Our dogs hate fireworks, so I do too. During our village's 4th of July display, our Shelby frantically rearranged my bathroom from top to bottom/. Loud fireworks are cruelty to animals and should be banned.
I do that for our local shelter all the time. I was having Amazon or Walmart deliver before now. I will not use them anymore, no need to feed those beasts. Shelter dogs though...they should not go hungry. 🐕🦮🐩🐕🦺
Thank you for the great advice. I am miserable and I forgot about those helpless animals. I will purchase tons of dog foods and bring them to a shelter. I think it might cheer me up a bit. The shitshow we are living in is so depressing that I need some of pick me up ideas. Thanks.
Hurray! One of the most sensible—obviously sensible—ideas I’ve seen; and, more than that, so inevitably,unavoidably, why-didn’t anyone-see-it-first-or-at all-obvious realities; you wonder why & how people would literally, actually burn/blow up money before being this rational, sensible AND kind?
Yep - I’m reluctant to pull the combat veteran PTSD card w my neighbors because certain folks will take that as a cue to ramp it up.
Lots of pets in my neighborhood - I’m much more concerned about them.
When I mentioned I hated fireworks because of my dog Howie having PTSD on Hellitter, I got replies of “your dog needs to get over it” and “I’ll shoot fireworks at your house to scare your dog”.
Those were the kinder ones. I hate people because of the shit like this they pull.
Horses die also. They run in the dark and break their legs. It isn't just dogs. My dog, however, is huge and he becomes secret service on me when there are fireworks or gun fire.
Howie’s not large, just slightly bigger than a Cocker spaniel. He’s been terrified of loud sharp noises for years. He has PTSD from one incident on a military base.
It’s a nightmare. Every year I have to wrap him in an oversized blanket, wrap him in a pupurrito, then rock, sing to, and stroke him.
Otherwise he’ll hurt himself from the shaking he does. It’s stress on his heart and since he’s part spaniel he’s already got strikes against him for heart issues. He’s also 11 years old now. Every day is precious.
People are monsters. I’ve hated them most of my life and this is why.

Where are the tariffs on them?
I thought so

Unlike pets.

You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

That’s about the same price. (I’m guessing because I haven’t bought fireworks in about 15 years, because my children all grew up.)
It drives me nuts when people blow up fireworks on all three nights of the Victoria Day weekend. Couldn’t we just restrict it to Monday or something?
I need those two cans of pet food for my own pet
We getting more and more people that need help here
