Environment/পরিবেশ Despite repeated warnings from the interim government, why did many people choose to celebrate using fireworks yesterday?

Even many religious figures warned people not to celebrate, as the sound harms birds and animals. We had a serious earthquake and lost some well-known political figures and activists this past month. So, who are these people disregarding the warnings and choosing to be lawless, and what are their political affiliations, according to you?

Common sense isn't very common.

A lot of people want content. People no longer want to have fun. They want to show people that they are having fun. A BBQ party will have 100s of pictures being taken. Someone going to a concert will take their mobile out for the entire duration of the show. Everything is an act of an act of an act.

My problem with these fire crackers is the affect it has on babies and old people. A friend of mine is a new day and he showed how his few months old baby was disturbed yesterday. Very difficult to take it.

How must the baby be disturbed by all the other sounds? Fire crackers can be awful but hour long screams through bad loudspeakers are the same if not even worse...

And yes, it's the worst for people that lived in war zones and animals. Dogs and cats are usually extremely anxious.
