PETA Wants 'Silent Fireworks' for L.A. Olympics to Protect Dogs
Truth Revolt ^ | August 9, 2017

Posted on 08/11/2017 12:28:17 AM PDT by Zakeet

What would the world do without PETA, who always tackles the important issues? Leading up to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, the radical anti-humans at PETA now advocate for "silent fireworks" because traditional fireworks scar dogs emotionally.

According to LA Weekly, they "want to see silent fireworks, or possibly even a Summer Games without fireworks at all, so that animals aren't traumatized by the simulation of artillery."

"We have seen success with silent fireworks," says PETA's associate director of online marketing, Kate Tuggle. "Silent fireworks are generally more colorful."

Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Fireworks do scare the living crap out of dogs.

My GSD loses it over the fireworks. She wants to bust out of the house. Going for a walk helps as she can survey the “war zone.”

Don’t care about fireworks for the Olympics, but no way in Hell must they be curbed for the 4th.

Isn't that what comes out of dogs anyway?

Not all of them: PETA should go on a crusade to get everyone to only buy dogs that were bred specifically for hunting. Most dogs intended for gun hunting are not afraid of loud booms.

Reminds me of the sponge wind chimes I put up. Neighbors complained about noise from steel chimes!

How about silent pheasant hunting for pointers who have failed the 12-gauge test?

Isn’t there any of the “silent dynamite” left in Naw’lins. The stuff used to blow up the levees?

with ten years to plan, let us cover all issues. Maybe they will get hit with the big one by 2027.

my neighbors griped about fireworks in the neighborhood this 4th.
Between the dogs and the babies, everybody was up in arms.
Our neighbors have been shooting fireworks on the 4th and NYE for the last 20 years. But this year all the under 40 something moms had cows and took to social media to call out the neighbors celebrating.

They also need to have fireworks that don't give off light.

The bright lights of fireworks wakes up the birdies and confuses them.

Then the PETA idiots should just turn their volume down. That would be as effective as trying to create silent fireworks.
