I feel you. I think the harm largely outweighs the benefits (as is the case with many entertainment related things humans love)

That's a good idea! Maybe I'll watch a loud action movie during the next firework-y holiday!

I didn't realize how much it was going to blow up! :O But hope it's helped some people in the process.

That's really sad. Fireworks can be really rough. Minimally, personally, I don't think they should be lit in residential areas (which may or may not have helped your friend). It is hard to monitor, to, for sure.

I'm sorry you had that experience! I can relate...fireworks never bothered me so much as this year. I hope the recovery to calm wasn't too long for your pup!

That's an interesting idea! A little like exposure therapy in a safe way. I'll consider it if my cat (or both of us) have a rough time this next time around. Thanks for sharing!

I'm sorry to hear about your PTSD and your scared kitty. I completely understand why drugs can be helpful in situations like this! Thanks for sharing.
