new year fire works

[terracore]

We had a huge electrical storm over our house a year or so ago and two goats died. They weren't struck by lightning, they either died from fright from the booms or some other complication of trying to run away from the gods. You can't do anything about nature. But last night our goats went crazy from fireworks and today at least one of them is sick and her rumen has stopped. (A goat doesn't have to be a "fainting goat" to suffer neurological responses from sudden frights). She may die. Here's an article about 5,000 birds killed due to being frightened by fireworks: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nati...orks_N.htm

Before you chug your "macho sized" beer and get your grunting ready for the big boom sounds your illegal fireworks make, try to think of the innocent wildlife and domestic animals that suffer and die for you to enjoy your boom sticks. But you won't.
