That’s awful! Poor puppy.

I've had acouple where I had to turn up the TV. My rescue I have now??? Drop a grenade next to him and he won't even open one eye.

stop killing animals

You euthanize dogs, PETA. Shut the fuck up.

This is the ONE time I will agree with you

Fireworks should be banned. How about beautiful electric fireworks displays

It gives so many signs how this pathetic country got put into place, sadly but saddeR of how much it takes too much time for a retard to figure out why everything seems to not understand to feel like a dipshit why it was normal and calm before it was taken away and haven't got respect ever since. 😔🥱

Our dog is afraid of fireworks. Please go to a public and usually free fireworks show. Don't set off fireworks. Buddy thanks you in advance.

Not to mention pollution. For what? I am all for celebrating independence but I don’t like celebrating war.

We have 1 dog that used to react that way not only with fireworks, but loud thunder and even people yelling; which my daughter tends to do watching football/footie and now the World Games; soccer matches. Benadryl did wonders for our little Lucy, she still reacts but not nearly as bad.

😢❤️

Just stop the f'n fireworks. I have lost dogs & rescued dogs during these times. It's awful for them. NOT worth your boom boom!😒

I don't go out We have blaring TV, blaring A/C Snacks, More snacks Then we snack some more.

Yes, mine slept in the closet last night, already! I hate what it does to them.

One of my dogs is like this thru thunderstorms and fireworks. Got her trazadone for this weekend. Also working on behavior therapy by running thunderstorms from you tube constantly!

We would turn on movies with lots of explosions and crank up the volume. That helped a lot. Also for thunderstorms.

I had a 100 pound yellow lab that would crawl in my lap, as we laid on the bathroom floor, and shake so hard, i thought she was having convulsions. I hate fireworks!

Our puppy used to head for the shower stall on the 4th and stayed there panting most of the night. Our boy , "Tedy" was very stressed on the 4th.

Poor baby I’m so very sorry! Our fourth isnt celebrating! We put a thunder shirt on ours, give low grade tranquilizers, radio blasted, sitting in the bathroom, door closed! 😔 Large combined schedule events I deal with- But those all nighter rogue M-80’ from adults acting like kids is the worst!

Drugs is the answer.

💔💔💔

🥰✌🏾

No one in our house could relax until our dog started going deaf.

First place my dog ran to on July 1st.

My cat was very scared at New Years'.. Clumps of his fur fell out!💔🐈‍⬛

😘😡

Have had to keep my poor Bodhi girl drugged up due to the fireworks all week. I feel so bad for her.

This is my Weimaraner.

My daughter's maltese mix has been like this her entire life. Also get's this way when we roast turkey for thanksgiving. Lot's of holding, reassurance, and letting her burrow under the blankets helps.

We ALL SEE she's not fecking okay. MAYBE try puting down a cushy familiar blanket, turn out the light, and pull the door partially closed if she retreats to the bathroom. Accommodate her without expecting the world to bend to her limitations.

2200 years we've loved them. My dog panics when a pot lid is dropped in the sink, or hears distant gunfire, army base big guns, low flying aircraft, jake's brakes on semis, loud Harleys, backup alarms, thunder w/i 5 or 10 miles, lightning strikes, etc. Let people live and enjoy magic of fireworks.

Not just dogs. Cats, horses, cows...everything.

Poor baby 😔 Fireworks are the worst

My Trump-loving redneck neighborhood says F your animal‘s feelings, we’re shootin fireworks all weekend!

Vets who served in Afghanistan react similarly.

They should be banned, and only specific celebratory events should be held for people to watch the stupid, loud spectacle. Or celebrate it with drowns drawing images in the sky?

They need to be banned. We have to take our dog to a rural community for fireworks night in UK, the Eid, then Chinese New Year, then more New Year, plus the arseholes who set them off for no apparent reason.

I got my boy a thunder shirt. It really helps.

No need for fireworks – this is much better www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKTo...

what most don't know is that most critters have nerve endings attached to their hair follicles- it's how they gage a sudden approach or attack- every percussive sound is an inescapable slap all over their body and the noise amplifies their instinctive flight response. it ain't fun for them.

I had a dog who ran around the house and tried to hide as my inconsiderate neighbors shot off professional style fireworks literally over my house. I would put him in the bathroom with the fan on and played music really loud to try to drown it out.

Absolutely! And it affects veterans as well

People are assholes.

I spend many hours in a closet with my pup during thunderstorms. Fireworks are an entirely different level. But go ahead, blow up shit to feel American 🙄

My husband slept in the shower with our terrified dog one July 4 because of the nonstop fireworks in our neighborhood. We went to Canada the next year. Both dogs are “used to it” now, but we all - humans and canines - hate fireworks.

Did you know peta kills healthy and adaptable animals, this also includes a chuichuia belonging to a then 9 year old girl

It's the 3rd right now and had to medicate my rescue about 8:30 ,last year was really a nightmare. Her doctor has prescribed medication for tonight and tomorrow night. It doesn't put her to sleep, it merely makes her much less stressed at loud noises. I thank Lizzy's great doctor.

Oh yeah around my neighborhood here in Louisville the nuts will do that.

Oh no! This is the ONE thing I hate about this time of year. I love fireworks, but what they do to our babies can be difficult. Keep your furbabies wrapped tight. This will pass! Lots of hugs, comfort and kisses…. Let them know you love them. They need this right now, pet parents!!!!!!

Did you know all the wild animals in trees, bushes, etc. also suffer???? Squirrels, opossums, racoons, and birds etc.

I take my dog out for a 45 min drive away from that anxiety.

Dog groomers use a covering that goes over the nose and on to the ears to block noise of dryer after the bath. I realise fireworks close by are higher decibel level but anything that would help your pup cope is helpful.

It’s going to be a long weekend

It’s time to end these silly fireworks when technology can be used to lessen the harm to animals and military that have been subjected to warfare

That's EXTREME anxiety!

Ban fireworks!!! It kills dogs!!!

Same, pup. Same.

aww. u nd 2 pick her up & hold her.stop filming alrdy. poor thing nds 2 b in yor arms.

Humans are selfish and evil

That used to be my dog too. 😔 I wish they would get rid of the fireworks altogether and just do the drones in place of firework shows. I’ve seen a few, but it needs to go 100%. The loud noises give me PTSD as well.

Didn't you guys tell people to adopt and kill shelter dogs because pet ownership is unethical?

I dread tonight and tomorrow night. My three rescues (one a ten month old puppy) go bullshit when my neighbors start setting off their fireworks. And they could give two fucks that the explosions are hurting such gentle animals for their short term high of living in a fucking fascist dictatorship.

Such a backward celebration

I used to lie on the floor hugging my sisters dog every year. I hate fireworks

They do the same to me.

Yeah, I know. Had one and it's not funny at all. Rather sad actually.

My fur baby has the same fear.

I know my pup is curled up and shaking, I put the sound of the TV up close all the blinds and set him up in the closet…. Terrible

Can you all who have pets PLEASE 🙏 put earmuffs for pets and comfort jackets on them during fireworks 🎆 = PLEASE PLAN AHEAD FOR SITUATIONS THAT YOU KNOW WILL BE TRIGGERING FOR THE INNOCENT DEFENSELESS BEINGS WHO RELY ON US 🇺🇸

I hate that. Souless people

I feel so relieved my dog deaf

Luckily while our dog seems slightly concerned by fireworks she is easily reassured, hate to see a dog that traumatized

Our poor German Shepherd was on Xanax to keep him from shoving his body under the bed when the fireworks went off. I hate that shit.

I’m no fan of Peta… But I am a huge fan of Vets and Pets!

imagine what animals in Ukraine are going through during the ballistic attacks, that the humanoids (aka russians) unleash on us for almost 4,5 years.

Protect our animals No fireworks

Yep. Mine get like that too. It’s just awful. Thundershirt helps. But not completely.

😢

My dogs were that way. I would take them camping far away from the city during fireworks.

We always had to give Penny drugs provided by the vet on the 4th. She just couldn’t handle the fireworks in our neighborhood.

Time for SILENT fireworks.

I hate fireworks, they don't only scare the sh*t out of animals, they also scare many veterans that fought for us. Think about your animals and your neighbors.

Yeah that’s true admittedly. Our little dog is terrified of fireworks. As was her predecessor.

Also veterans with PTSD!

Exactly! Last year it lasted 5.1/2 hours non stop. Let’s not forget the military personnel active or retired.

Yep That's my dog too. I truly hate this holiday.

My first dog Cliffy got so scared one time he had a seizure.

Aww, poor pupper. Fireworks are bad for all species.

We have not purchased fireworks in years—like 20 years—and now we need to get our pups a prescription because here in Tennessee they begin fireworks the day they go on sale and the noise will last a month. And we have a neighbor who believes huge mortars are the way to go.

I hate fireworks for how frightening it is to pets and those with PTSD.

3 dogs ago like this. Next dog, into window, gleefully watch & bark at fireworks, recognizing the sound. She was full extrovert:) Having learned from that dog, current dog was acclimatized to them by taking her outside to watch them with us. Our oohs & aahs seemed to help her get it. Worth a try.

My dog, a rescue picked up by animal control as a puppy, hides under furniture and cries. We give her gabapentin and play classical music. Fire works are illegal here, except for professional displays. But we have a neighbor who uses fireworks on random days all summer.

Hey Peta, Go fuck yourself!

Hope your ok cutie🐶

Some groomers use a sound muffler - a knitted head band - over dogs' ears when they are scared of blow dryers. I don't know if it would help, but definitely worth a try. Add cottonballs into the ears as well.

It drives my Pug nuts. Running up and down the hallway barking at the patio door and all. He barks at everything though. Sirens and loud motorcycles as well as the electric golf cart in our mobile home park. Kids on bicycles? How does he hear them when he's on the bed? I don't do fireworks or shoot!

💔 🐕

I HATE fireworks for that reason. I know there are CBD gummies will calm them down.

Apparently some have had good luck with the noise of tennis balls in a running clothes dryer.

Poor baby

CBD for my kitties… fans on, music up and windows closed. I do understand people like firework shows. Last year, the illegal shit was booming over the house. Not cool.

I thought you losers were opposed to keeping pets to such a point that you euthanize hundreds of pets every year rather than rehome them? Stop pretending you care about animals.

Happens to my dogs twice a year. I help them through it and they're OK afterward. I'm not going to be a wet blanket for the neighborhood over it.

Babies at fireworks without hearing protection and an emergency escape plan: also unforgivable.

This is why I have to sedate my poor pup every year on the 4th and even days after.

I hate the fireworks too especially since most cities ban them in residential areas. We have the same assholes here that will not comply, but we sedate our dogs and play white noise every time we’re expecting fireworks. Please get some meds from your vet. They really help!!

Poor Baby. Mine gets major anxiety but doesn't shake and cower, she literally gets on the highest point she can reach and barks at every firework. It is a hard few days. No fun for her or for us. Yay Merica

Our poor dog is the same. I also feel for veterans with PTSD. People are so selfish.

I have to buy calming tabs - I dread the fireworks for all the pets.

One sleeps right through it. The other one is so scared she never wants to sleep out on the deck at night again...

I closed my dog in the tv room with a giant exhaust fan on high.

😐

Thunder shirts help. Fireworks suck.

heartbreaking my dog suffered to this extreme as well and there's nothing the parent can do. we tried drugs, body huggers, etc... our poor animals suffer so others can...what? celebrate? how is setting off fireworks celebration? wouldn't the money be better spent in a soup kitchen?

I don't love fireworks, especially under a wood shake roof in such dry conditions. But I do love dogs and have had many over my many, many years 🧑🏾‍🦳. Maybe, sometimes jumpy, most not at all, not one has been this way.

Poor baby

most people are assholes. They simply DO NOT CARE. It’s all about Them.

Thank you PETA 🐾🙏💙

😔💔

Why do you kill so many homeless pets?

Considering you run kill shelters, I don’t think you get to speak about animals or animal welfare.

If you condition your dog to be scared of fireworks this will happen. You are supposed to desensitize your dog to normal things like this. Don't coddle the behavior show them its not scary. Take them outside to see the fireworks, its hard to be scared when you are aware. Animals arent dumb toddlers

My dog is like that too. Poor thing. Half a benadryl seems to help tho

Do you care at all @mariannemeedward.bsky.social? Of course you don’t. Sick of my mayor and council and their Canada Day fireworks displays too, as well as their total refusal to actually enforce their own bylaws against ppl setting off their own on numerous days all year.

😢

😢

Oblivious to the world around him 🤨 Trumps 40-minute spectacle will launch over 850,000 fireworks from 10 sites, culminating in what the administration touts as the largest fireworks show in history.
