                                            PLEASE DONT ASK ME IF WE ARE OK WITH SOME LITTLE FIREWORKS BEING SHOT THIS YEAR. WE ARE NOT. DONT ASK. 
We are not against fireworks when they are not beside my house. Remember we do not do fireworks for the following reasons. 
Fireworks can be a significant trigger for veterans with PTSD, evoking traumatic memories and causing intense distress. The sounds, sights, and smells of fireworks can resemble combat experiences, leading to flashbacks, anxiety, and other PTSD symptoms. 
Fireworks can pose a direct threat to wildlife. Birds may be startled and fly into structures or power lines, resulting in injuries or fatalities. Small animals like mammals, reptiles, and amphibians can be frightened or injured by fireworks, leading to stress, accidents, or even death.
Fireworks displays can be stressful and dangerous for livestock. Animals like horses and farm animals can be easily startled by the loud noises and bright flashes of fireworks, potentially leading to injuries from running into fences or other obstacles. Additionally, debris from fireworks can pose a choking hazard or be toxic if ingested. 
We have all the above and we loss a high dollar bird last year which was not cool. Our large animals was running crazy in the pasture trying to find safety. Our smaller animals we running in panic.   
Please do not light fireworks near my house  we have wildlife, exotics, livestock, poultry, peacocks, ostriches, and rhea. emus. Please be respectful.  
I have my animals secured and if I loose another animal because of this let's say it won't be pretty. 
PLEASE DONT ASK ME IF WE ARE OK WITH SOME LITTLE FIREWORKS BEING SHOT THIS YEAR. WE ARE NOT. DONT ASK.
