Neighbors say July 4 fireworks 'sound like a war zone'
Huntington Beach sounds like a war zone right now so that’s cool, appreciate it everyone, we could’ve all been playing video games but I guess we’re traumatizing dogs and veterans instead
Current hiding places: Cabinet. Behind a toilet.
Hey, it’s fun to burn up money in the form of loud noises because I think it’s cool! (I fucking hate fireworks)
People are setting off big enough fireworks in my neighborhood that my DEAF CAT jumped. (She was sleeping on her wall mounted shelf and a boom rattled the walls.)
Can confirm. Am renting currently and two doors down from the person who when asked “how many fireworks are you going to set off” answered with “all of them.” My dogs are hiding in dark windowless rooms like Anne Frank right now.
This is the worst, most stupid holiday tradition ever. My dogs have been shaking for 6 hours straight 😡
Same in my little city up here on the central coast. It’s the pits. Pretty wild that people can afford to piss away all this money on illegal fireworks.
There is no way to sufficiently express how much I HATE fireworks. My city sounds like a GDMF war zone. My cats are freaked out. I have no idea why we celebrate the birth of a nation with replicas of bombs that killed people.
Idk why we're so far behind times, where's the drone shows instead??? Get with the fucking times! like China and UAE do, jfc it's pathetic to scare nature and our beloved pets and those with PSTD ... smh
I feel like my house is under attack. It’s pretty ridiculous
Same. My dogs are not happy. The joy people get with fireworks that only bang. It starts a week before and will continue for another week after in my neighborhood. 😡
My kitty has been hiding out in a kitchen cabinet for much of the day. I opened a can of food and she came out for a little while.
Yeah, I’ve got the earbuds trying to drown out the neighbors. They’re apparently extremely patriotic.
Seattle sounds like what I kinda figure an active war zone sorta sounds like rn lmao
Y’all gotta save some for when It Happens
solidarity from the mission i cant hear myself think
Pretty much, but would have more snaps, hisses, dirt/gravel
It is no calmer down in Sumner
Heard a lot of rapid fire booms tonight. Housemate even made the "reloading!" joke tonight.
Sumner is insane rn too
The Mall fireworks may be delayed but elsewhere in DC the dog-terrifying, totally illegal, war-zone-volume fireworks and (mostly) firecrackers are right on time.
My poor dogs are shivering. They’re the dumbest creatures. The fireworks never hurt them yet They are always terrified. I feel for them.
Our old rescue guy is terrified of thunderstorms and fireworks. He is also incredibly driven by food and bones (he licks the bones, he only has four teeth left). He is currently sleeping like a champ next to a nub of a bone: treats it like a teddy bear. He needs help picking it up, but sleeps by it.
I just spent an hour in the field with my animals because every man-child around hasn’t gotten over blowing shit up.
firework firework firecracker firecracker firewo- oh no that one was actually gunfire- firework firecracker siren
We dosed him and he's doing well which is great because it sounds like a damn war zone out there. #corgi #corgicrew
Aw buddy. Our cats are supremely unbothered because there's a lot of noise in the neighborhood to begin with.
It's midnight here. I thought it was over and coaxed my goldendoodle to go outside to pee. 10 seconds out the door and someone down the street launched a barage of very loud fireworks. 🤬 I probably won't be able to get her outside to potty tonight.
