I don’t understand that rockets have to be launched on New Year’s Eve, with the result that all our animals suffer so much, many animals even die from fear and the worst part is that everyone who launches rockets knows in advance how bad and horrible it is for animals to shoot anyway. How can you bear it on your conscience, poor little dog.”
