Cities should ban private fireworks

I read the article on how Camas and Washougal officials are considering banning private fireworks, and I think it is a brilliant idea. My mom frequently volunteers at Southwest Humane Society, and every year, she says some dogs there get terrified of the fireworks and are trembling in the corners of their beds, doing anything they can to protect their ears from the sudden and loud bangs. Our own animals get terrified of the fireworks, and my little cousins get scared as well.
