Many owners have reported their animals ‘trembling’ and ‘shaking’ for days after firework displays have finished
As the temperatures get colder and the days get shorter, people turn to Halloween, Bonfire Night, Christmas andAlthough these holidays might make winter more bearable, celebrating with fireworks in a way that harms an animal could leave you facing a hefty fine or even jail time.
Doing this falls under animal cruelty, according to the Animal Welfare Act of 2006, and allows courts to impose an unlimited fine and/or hand down a five-year jail sentence.
