<p> </p>
<p>How many times have you sat in your comfortable</p>
<p>Chair on NYE poured yourself a glass of wine and </p>
<p>Watched the fireworks displays going on in your own</p>
<p>Backyard .Little or no regard for dogs, or birds or even</p>
<p>Possums for that matter.And have sat in awe of the</p>
<p>Miracle display of 10 tons of fireworks.</p>
<p>Legally controlled and continuously bombing for</p>
<p>The best part of an hour.</p>
<p>How many of you make an exodus to Darling harbour</p>
<p>Every NYR to personally be a party to the fireworks and</p>
<p>Revellers to see in the new year.</p>
<p>How many dogs and horses are an important arm</p>
<p>Of war and police and rescue activities. </p>
<p>Does anyone ever give a thought to their fear of bombs</p>
<p>And cry animal cruelty.no.</p>
<p>They have a job to do and are trained to do it without fear. </p>
<p>But as soon as you catch wind of someone letting</p>
<p>Off a skyrocket in their backyard.</p>
<p>Bad bad person .</p>
<p>It doesn't mattet that they have already told you</p>
<p>They stay home on the most celebrated night of the </p>
<p>Year because of concern for their dogs</p>
<p>Bad bad person.</p>
<p>And in the lead up to the legal explosion of ten</p>
<p>Tonnes of fireworks here IMO a controlled cracker</p>
<p>Or two from a backyard actually softens the impact</p>
<p>Of fear for our dogs and others in the neighbourhood</p>
<p>For that matter.</p>
<p>What freaks dogs out and makes them run away is </p>
<p>The controlled and continuous barrage of explosions</p>
<p>Of which their owners are most likely a party to</p>
<p>And have left their dogs to fend for themselves</p>
<p>Regardless of the consequences</p>
