Every year it’s the same thing – caring pet parents feel despondent and overwhelmed by the upcoming New Year’s Eve fireworks pandemic, which can ruin the entire festive season. There are fights in neighbourhoods and numerous petitions are signed – all to no avail. There’ll always be those who put themselves first with no compassion for animals. There’ll always be those who will, in their small minds, find loud bangs entertaining and who get a sadistic pleasure from harming and scaring animals (and humans).
So, this year, rather than encouraging people with so many excellent reasons not to set off fireworks, I decided to rather focus on those who leave their pets alone at home on New Year’s Eve and go off to enjoy themselves without a care in the world. And then the next day we see all those tearful posts about dogs and cats being missing or being found dead. Crocodile tears.
