To the Editor:
I agree with Eric Svelling: Fireworks are a “menace” (7/22).I have lived on 16th Street in Ship Bottom with a little cocker spaniel that is terrified of fireworks. For the past 11 years, I’ve happily spent the evenings around the July 4th celebration (or any announced firework demonstration) holding her indoors, with the TV loud and humming in her ear. It was just a part of loving and caring for her.
This past July 11 someone on the 15th Street beach had his or her own illegal firework display, lasting, what I’ve been told, 20 to 25 minutes.
