Until I moved to Mexico to a very small tropical beach town I never realized the effects fireworks has on the general population. Dogs freak out and run away fr0om home, bird's get all discombobulated and some have heart attacks and fall dead from the tree's, it polutes and it's just plain ol' obnoxious to those trying to have a peaseful vacation.
Trust me, I enjoy a good professional fireworks show but that's not the case here. Besides, they are extremely dangerous, especially when bought in countries without strict standards.
