Some people need urgent medical attention!
I'm also an animal lover (altough not a vegitarian). Our job is to enjoy what we love best and still make sure that animals are not harmed.
Some of the people in the pyro forum turned out to be mentaly ill aswell.
The people in the Vegan forum are extremists. They are not to blame if they do not understand pyro. But considering that one person even gave valium to her dog.... I dont think all of them are good animal raisers after all.....
And if you let your animals run around while fireworks are being shot, than only you is to blame.
Also if you have a kid that is scared of the dark, you dont close him/her in a room without any lights do you? But still you cant stop night from coming. What you do is you switch on the lights. (aint I a genious?) lol
Same with animals! Animals are just like kids in almost eveything.
On the other hand I dont think that the problem of these people are pyros, but rather consumer firewroks that everyone can buy and unfortunatley many misuse.
Professional pyros should also keep in mind that we are not alone in this world and with a little attention everyone would be safe. Even our hairy friends

(and I dont mean human men friends

I mean animals...)
Cheers.
