On this 4th of July weekend, a plea to amateur fireworks enthusiasts

Please do at least consider, restricting setting off your loud fireworks to a reasonable timeframe. Not 2 or 3 days before or after THE day, for instance, or at all hours. Your loud booms terrorize both wild and domesticated animals, including, of course, those that people often refer to as "pets".

Thank you. The end. 😬

@MarmeeMarch Interesting. Those years I lived in Germany, fireworks were not verboten. Although many kinds people set off here in the Republican controlled state of Florida are "verboten", except for legally permitted professional displays, people still do it.
Must not be all that "NAZI" where you live, really, if the fireworks booms go on for months at a time.

@MarmeeMarch Right, which is why it's inconsiderate, idiotic and dangerous for people be setting them off for days, at all hours, both before and after [b]the[/b] Fourth of July.

Obviously people CAN buy them, even in the place you've referred to as NAZI Germany.

@MarmeeMarch Yeah, most likely. The "safe", safest, [i]safer[/i] kind, are usually not those set off by the [b]amateur[/b] fireworks enthusiasts referred to by my post.
