Demand an End to Non Professional Fireworks in Stark County

Even birds who are accustomed to urban noises can be spooked by the boom of fireworks, take off and crash into trees, cars and buildings. So the city is recommending its citizens go to one of the many public fireworks displays instead. Why don’t public fireworks displays scare birds? Well, they do, but they’re much better, according to reporting from the National Audubon Society: First, it reduces the number of displays, which “allows birds to take off and land again in a ‘safer’ location rather than continuing to flee noises coming at them from all directions.” Likewise, “professional displays often take into account the natural environment and any impacts [displays] might have.” .
