Background
There are around 38 million pets in the UK. Many of which suffer terrible stress caused by loud fireworks this time of year. The same for all of UK wildlife that has to endure this strange human tradition. For them it’s not only frightening but also dangerous and as a nation of so called animal lovers we owe it to them to move away from this towards a more peaceful and considerate future for all. A once marvellous spectacle that is outdated by the many many things one can view on a screen, or with headphones. It’s unnecessary, anti social and disrespectful.
