Huge fucking fireworks display at People’s Park in Bray currently scaring the shit out of our poor dog.
Fuck these people.
Called the gardai: “Yeah we can see it on the cameras … it’s Halloween”
Me: “So fireworks are legal on Halloween?”
Garda: “No they’re not”
Oh, well, thank fuck we cleared that up then.
@aral a local group of teens made a bonfire in the local park... Which won't scare dogs or young kids, but it's potentially more dangerous.
Fireworks are almost daily from now until new year 
We don't have a dog anymore, and luckily our autistic kids like them (luckily because they're going to happen anyway, and otherwise it could lead to meltdowns) but nevertheless, very insensitive.
@aral I've been so lucky not to have a dog who's been scared of fireworks but looks like there might be a few displays at the moment https://masto.ai/@stavvers/111393386421033581
@aral I once had a conversation with the Belgian police who were standing on the entrance to the football stadium, which also served as the field of our youth movement. (Actually, it was the other way around but K. Lierse. SK bribed the exact right people to do whatever they wanted).
In any case: picture children aged 6-18 playing together while football 'fans' were pissing on the terrain they were using. 1/
@aral I told the politics about what was happening. Their response; 'We're not allowed to leave, can help you out'.
Morale of the story; the police doesn't serve the public and laws don't mean anything. Also: fuck kids, the hooligans can do whatever they want. 2/2
@aral It's most likely for Diwali. (Yes, I had a dog who had severe storm and fireworks anxiety, so I feel your pain.)
@ryanadams Halloween
@aral Poor wee thing. Can you turn the TV or radio up to drown out the noise a bit. We used to have to do that with our dogs on Halloween & just give them cuddles & treats. Tried of those calming sprays for them but they weren't very effective.
Luckily my current cat is old & deaf so she can't hear it all. Seems like everyone around us is letting off fireworks tonight.
@Fizzle_Up Already done (music + white noise) :) I finally looked at him and said “look, they’re thoughtless cunts but the worst of it is over” and it must’ve been my tone of voice because he laid down right afterwards and seems to be calmer now. 
@aral Lol! Aw! Glad to hear he's calmer. It's distressing watching your pet being distressed.
@aral Sorry to hear. Pet Classics on Classic FM are my go to dog relaxer. I have recordings from the last couple of years and it works a treat on my dog.
We will have fireworks going off most nights from now until early January.
This year Classic FM’s Pet Classics are on November 2nd 6.30 pm and November 5th 6.30 pm.
@Broadfork Thank you; will check it out :)
