Late night fireworks made animals, humans suffer

To the editor:
I want to comment about the terrible fireworks that were going off all over town (during the Fourth of July).
They seemed like they would never stop, and think of all of the people who have heart trouble, cancer, have trouble breathing and all of the other health problems people have.
Think also about our pets, including dogs, which have a greater sensitivity to loud noises. My dog suffered so terribly that he got into a closet and we had to set a fan in there to keep it cool and from having a heart attack.
I also have a parrot that flew all over its cage as firecrackers were still going off after midnight. People and animals suffered through this ordeal, and I suggest that these things should be taken into consideration.
Shame, shame, shame, mayor.
