Fireworks are always an important part of celebrations. We all enjoy watching bright firework shows in the sky. However, in an Italian town called Collecchio, the local government has made a law: fireworks in their town must be silent. The law is 50 made for animals. Fireworks are beautiful, but their sound is too much for animals. Every time we set off fireworks to celebrate a holiday, our animals do not want to be anywhere near them. Animals' 51 is very sensitive. They have no idea what fireworks are and are afraid of them. Dogs even hurt themselves while trying to hide from the loud noise. Many of them run out and get 52 by cars. What's more, the noise and smoke of fireworks are unhealthy for animals. Some animals keep 53 in fear and even get heart problems. To show love and respect for the animals, the town of Collecchio passed the firework law in 2015. With the help of a firework company, people in the town are now able to watch a silent but wonderful firework show with their pets.
