An Oregon town has reportedly canceled its annual fireworks show out of concern the Fourth of July pyrotechnics will scare sea birds roosting nearby.

Town officials in Depoe Bay have announced the cancellation of the annual pre-Independence Day fireworks show on July 3 following pressure from federal wildlife managers who said the noise disrupts sea birds in the area, the Oregonian reports.

The move has irked local business owners who count on the popular show to bring foot traffic.

"It's a great loss to our community," Peggy Leoni, co-owner of Trollers Lodge, a small motel in Depoe Bay, told the newspaper.

Ohhhhhhh...I get it now!

Just put a little smiley face at the end of my post and any blanket statement bullshit I post within is just "satire"?
 
Now this one is just plain stupid. It might scare birds? It's been happening annually for centuries and just now they fear it might scare the birds?

Who needs fireworks? Here in KY we just drink red likker and shoot guns in the air anyway.

That's for New Years here....well, minus the liquor at my house. ;) I have adopted a Kentucky holiday tradition since I married my Kentucky wife. At leaningright's house during the holiday season we now have boiled custard. Never heard of it until I spent the holidays with the in-laws. Good stuff.
