New Year's Eve became a nightmare again :( How many animal advocates wrote about it, how much they asked, but people don’t want to understand that firecrackers and fireworks scare animals to death. Almost everyone who has dogs had problems. People started lighting fireworks after 9 pm and it lasted until three in the morning. Animals barked, howled, rushed about. My poor Umka was trembling and I could not calm her. I don’t understand what the joy of a twenty-second firework is when it creates so many problems?
