EDITOR – As usual, the silly season has brought forth its brain-dead. We, who live on Valley Drive in Forest Hills, have been cursed with a bunch of double-digit IQ cretins who don’t believe that bylaws pertaining to the letting off of fireworks from suburban properties apply to them.
At New Year’s Eve midnight our world exploded with a cacophony of deafening concussive bangs (with one firework giving a creditable imitation of a heavy machine gun).
These morons display not the slightest consideration for others and of course any idea of the absolute terror of domestic pets and wildlife would never occur to them. Of course, consideration and realisation of the consequences of one’s actions requires a certain level of intelligence!
Domestic pets can be comforted to a certain extent (ever tried it?) and tranquillised. But the forest wildlife in this area must have been absolutely terrified!
