       SUMMARY - Celebratory fireworks during the Diwali festival have
       caused significant air pollution in New Delhi, the capital of
       India. The city’s air quality index (AQI) measurement hit 442 on
       Tuesday morning (2025-10-21). India’s Central Pollution Control

       Ya got me there.. I hate fireworks. It traumatizes & scares my
       pets and feels like animal cruelty. It is animal abuse as it
       really shakes up the beautiful creatures in our backyards that
       are often ignored and unseen. Fireworks disrupts and cause an
       imbalance as animals often seek refuge outside their normal
       already perfect homes invading one another habitat/home
       territories creating imbalance for everyone's lifestyle in that
       vicinity.
       During fireworks near my street, I worry about my roof catching
       fire. I just feel like I'm being shot at.  The smell of sulfur
       fills the air There's better ways of celebrating than using
       gunpowder.. people need to learn to play a musical instrument or
       something instead.  ;)
       By Zeus or by Jove, we already got free fireworks from nature
       ... just watch a thunder and lighting storm .. that's enough
       commotion and excitement for this mortal.
       My dog deserves a good belly rub not an explosive scare.
       The cats are happy on the back porch leave them be don't mess
       with them or me.
       I'm not a big fan of gunpowder in any shape or form especially
       when it goes off near my sacred body.
       I hate fireworks and so do our animals,
       You ain't no animal lover if you like fireworks and
       pyrotechnics,
       Who wants to be part of something that generally and
       specifically hurts animals? Not me,
       The Masked Man
       P.S. After writing this I googled "do firework events hurt
       animals" just to see if there's anything to back up my theories
       and evidently I am right about how harmful fireworks are for
       animals.
       There are indeed countless articles on the impact fireworks has
       on these poor innocent beautiful creatures:
       "Yes, firework events have many negative and potentially fatal
       impacts on animals, including pets, livestock, and wildlife
       . Animals are more sensitive to loud noises, bright flashes, and
       strange smells than humans, which can lead to extreme stress,
       injury, and death...
