Good for them. I'm not going to argue that it's not a sad story.
But there are loads of other things we do to animals, so I don't think it weighs meaningfully against doing something that gives so many people enjoyment and preserves our tradition of burning Catholics.
I used to go to raves I woods. The organisers did them regularly. On reflection that must have scared the fucking shit out of local wildlife and disoriented them. I still wouldn't take it back.
Joyless fucks complaining about fireworks as soon as dawali comes around.
They're fun, beautiful and kids love them.
