Yes, the noise from fireworks can be annoying and scare horses and other animals. Of course dogs have sensitive ears. That being said, my only point , as insignificant as it is, was that war can be sometimes loud, dirty and inconvenient. It sure got us some great results, though, huh?
I wish everybody a great, safe and enjoyable Independence Day!
