Fireworks Aren't Fun for Everyone

Fireworks cause fear, anxiety, and panic in pets, wildlife, and people with PTSD. Please be considerate, be kind, and be responsible — if you want to celebrate, go to an organized event instead.

Why Fireworks Are Riskier Than They Seem

• Pets can panic, run away, or even injure themselves.
• Wildlife is terrified and displaced from their homes.
• Loud noises can trigger PTSD and severe anxiety.
• They can start fires and cause serious injuries and damage.
• In California, it's illegal to possess, use, or sell most fireworks.

Want to celebrate? Go to an organized event — enjoy the show and keep our pets, people, and wildlife safe.
