PETA Calls For National Fireworks Ban
T
he envirocrats succeeded this year in getting one fireworks show canceled because of imagined or fleeting impacts on animals. It didn’t take long for PETA to ratchet up this single ban, of Gualala CA’s show (here, here, here), into a call for a nationwide ban of 4th of July fireworks.
Speaking on Fox Business (here; sorry I still can’t load clips into the new layout), PETA spokesdope Lisa Lange (wasn’t that a comic book heroine?) said it is specifically because 4th of July fireworks shows occur only once a year that they are such a threat to wildlife.
Well, the shortness of the fireworks display actually has a lot to do with this. Animals, not just birds, but dogs and cats, when they hear something once a year that sounds to us like entertainment, but to them it’s bombardment. I mean these sounds are supposed to sound like bombs to us … they don’t know that they’re not completely under attack.
But no matter; to PETA it’s bombardment, and that means fireworks shows should be banned from sea to shining sea in this land of the free PC-chained and home of the brave indoctrinated cowards:
Fox Business: Are you suggesting that we should just cancel fireworks displays across the country?
Lange: I’m suggesting people should consider it, absolutely. … This is something that will make an animal … feel that it’s under attack.
And if you live in a backward, un-PC place that refuses PETA’s suggestion? Well, then she advises, “Stay home if you can.” Do not participate in patriotic displays.
Me? I’m going to wear fur to the next fireworks display and stand there chewing big fat sandwiches made from recently slaughtered animals. But others will catatonically fall in line behind Lange and start showing up at City Council meetings demanding that the good night’s sleep of birds be placed above pride in our country’s birth and its subsequent greatness.
And in many cities, where “leaders” are mere followers, PETA will prevail and another heart-stirring and grand American tradition will begin to go the way of the community Christmas display.

Perhaps PETA was behind the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s July 3 recall of some Black Cat fireworks.
