I have mixed feelings about fireworks. I enjoy the way they look from a distance, but don't like the noise up close. Watching the city's show from a distance is pretty without the noise of the explosions.
MD, you might find it annoying that some of us complain the fireworks scare our animals. As Eskie pointed out some animals get so scared they hurt themselves trying to get away. And for some of us it's not one day of fireworks. I have trashy neighbors who will set off fireworks the entire weekend. They were setting off stuff at 10:30 last night. It will get crazy enough around here tomorrow that I will have to sedate my dog to keep him from hurting himself. Hurting himself aside, it pains me to see him become a quivering pile of pure terror.
In addition to critters being afraid of the noise, folks with PTSD are triggered by fireworks. I'm not proposing banning fireworks. I know a lot of people enjoy the shows. I just wish people would have consideration for others who might not like the shows or be frightened by them.
