Jup, no harm done. Just millions of wild animals that get scared, wounded or are dying as a result. Not to forget the massive pollution of the air and the environment or the people with pets or special needs who are in most cases not really able to protect themselves from that. We humans are so shitty that this is by far not the worse we do. But "no harm done" is a sick joke.

    Are you shooting in forest or something? Birds in cities, yes, and I even admitted it in my previous comment, so what's you on about?

    And what do you mean people with pets or special needs are not able to protect themselves? Ever heard of a radio? One of many things you can use to drown out the shots for pets. Or are you just sitting your pets on the window and pointing at the beautifully ligthened sky while the poor pet shivers beside you, like psychopats?

    And for people - headphones exist. It's literally one night a year.

    So yeah, no harm done.

    When I lived in LA it started a week early and on the 4th itself it was a fireworks show finale amount of fireworks for 8 hours straight.

    But just turn on the radio.... right.

    Maybe it's time to realize different places are different and there may be values to other people's perspectives even if they don't reflect your particular worldview.

    What a selfish and self centered argument.
