Hmm. Come to think of it, on Canada Day (Juy 1) the Canadians aren't celebrating their independence from England. They're observing the unification of the three separate colonies of Canada that occurred in 1867. They didn't gain real independence from England until 1982 and apparently don't celebrate it.
Maybe we're keen on celebrating our independence because we had a war over it. The rockets' red glare, etc. People enjoy fireworks.
Pets don't enjoy fireworks. I like looking at them but you have to feel sorry for the pets and for the people for whom the noise is torture.
