I honestly believe we should ban fireworks and firework shows across the country. Not only are they (apparently) bad for the environment and likely to cause wildfires*, have the potential to trigger PTSD**, but they also make the large majority of dogs terrified for at least two nights of the year. As humans, our symbiotic relationship with dogs is one of our greatest assets -- we owe them better than this. Drone shows + music are just as cool.
