    I don’t want to hear other people’s music anywhere in public. Don’t force your music on me.

    But in nature it’s much worse. Noise pollution is harmful to wildlife. Why would you go out to enjoy nature while at the same time harming it?

      This is why I absolutely hate fireworks. They’re terrible for domestic pets (commonly cats, dogs) due to their increased sensitive hearing. Wildlife is dramatically impacted. Birds abandon their nests, and some have even been recorded fleeing in terror and flying over the ocean - where they become too exhausted with no land to land on, so they drown. Other animals of course are terrorised and flee their homes in terror. Commonly, families get separated.

      I fucking hate fireworks. They’re so damn annoying, and are traumatising to innocent animals.

      If persons want to celebrate holidays, go to professional drone shows. They’re far better, quieter, and much cooler than bullshit fireworks. Fuck fireworks.

        Ugh, if you think the cats and dogs have it bad, you should see farm animals. Every single July 5th/January 1 for me was spent rounding up horses and cattle because it was inevitable that fences would get broken. Luckily I wasn’t good friends with the vet at the time, or I would have been even more sickened by how many large animals he would have to treat or put down.

        I agree fuck fireworks, but also I was shocked to discover that my cat loves the damn things. On July 4th she was sitting at every window trying to watch them. This is the same cat who sprints out of the room the moment she even sees a vacuum

          Most of my cats have adored them, when they were able to see them instead of just being subjected to the noise. I can’t imagine how wild the experience must be for a creature with only the barest capacity for abstract conceptualization. The great grand-pappy of all laser pointers has shown up, and the humans are fighting him?

          Dogs tho, they’ve all hated them. Even my deaf pupper godog was real wary of whatever the hell was going on out there.

      Was at the lake and the amount of people who think we want to listen to their bullshit music is to much. Why I hate camping around people. They go to nature and then ruin it with thier loud music.

        In my part of the world you’ll often get campers blasting the radio. Imagine retreating to nature so you can listen to vapid commentary and ads.

          If there are other people, you likely mean a campground which is not retreating to nature. Campgrounds are very unnatural manipulated outdoor spaces.

          Hopefully you have real wilderness near you where camping is allowed in places you could likely not encounter other humans. Highly recommend the experience if so. It makes campgrounds feel like trailer parks in comparison.

            Around here, “campground” can mean anything from a powered site to a patch of dirt at the end of a trail. You’ll find these types at both. Sometimes the worst are at the most remote spots because it’s become very popular to buy a big 4WD and justify the cost by going as deep into the bush as possible, with as much gear and comforts as possible.

              If elected, I’ll make it legal to hunt those people for sport between April and August. (Season will vary slightly depending on location.)

          If you’re feeling slightly mischievous you could get one of those short-range radio transmitters (the kind you use to listen to your own music in an old car without an aux input or bluetooth) and override their radio station

      I guess that’s the joke. The playlist has 0 minutes because people don’t want to hear any music from one’s bluetooth speaker while hiking.

      Because there are large wild animals such as bison, boar, and elk where i hike. It lets unseen animals know I’m near also my preferred trails have very few other people on them.
