Just saw a spectacular display in Zürich yesterday and I'm wondering for how long we will be able to see them. I mean, they are pretty terrible for the environment and the animals.. but they look and feel so good!

It's really terrible for all kinds of pets and other animals. When my cat was still alive, I had to make sure to cuddle him before and through the major fireworks so he felt at least somewhat safe. And then there's the people who light theirs during the day or way past midnight or on random days. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more car/animal crashes during or immediately after fireworks than on regular dates.
