Sending prayers for the safety and comfort for all - animals and people alike - who will be affected by an egotistical desire for a world record fireworks display in DC tonight. The barrage will go on and on, assaulting all without consent, creating air quality so bad that N95 masks are being urged.
My heart breaks for all the animals, in homes and in the wild, who cannot understand nor escape the assault, and for the humans who will also be traumatized. If you are not someone bothered by fireworks, consider what you can do to mitigate the distress of others which may prove quite literally deadly.
