    Not just dogs or other pets, but also farm and wild animals. And it may not only lead to suffering, but also lead to their deaths.

      A local icecream place that also had goats and ducks was fucking setting them off right over the goat pen. They were sprinting from shelter to shelter inbetween explosions.

      I don’t plan on going back there now. It’s a shame because it’s one of the better shops nearby.

        Yep. With wild animals it may result in the running away in fear without thought and get lost or injured which may result in their death. This technically applies to all animals.

        Another aspect which affects all is heart attack from the shock.
