      It’s still a form of art, specially the “big” ones. The hand-handled one are totally useless and can disappear from the world for what I care.

      In general, they are dangerous and should be banned overall. But won’t happen any time soon.

          That feels… A bit exaggerated. You have any sources?

            It’s obviously a primary source, duh.

            That being said, a few years ago we did lose a crow and a bluejay from the fireworks. We found them lying dead in the middle of the backyard the next morning.

            This year however so far no dead animals.

              Oh cool a personal attack, that means you’ve definitely got your sources down and are arguing in good faith instead of becoming a whining 5 year old /s

              It’s incredible all the constant dead animals all around Disney from the fireworks they constantly set off and on yeah, you are just as bad as the MAGA people only looking for sources that agree with your agenda.
