Quote:(A safe way for wildlife who may seek shelter for winter in wood piles is: keep the wood for the bonfire in another area. Then gradually remove it (get some careful strong teenagers who don't mind hauling logs!) -to put it in the place where the fire will be. That way, they can check for hedgehogs, grass snakes.....and other creatures will be able to get away and won't be burned alive.)
I sure hope they do that. We do so many things that are hard on animals, wild and pets. Your bonfire night is as dangerous as Halloween and even more so because of the fires.
Any time we have treats we need to be careful. So much of what we eat is very bad for our pets, but our candy is the worst. Much of it is bad for us, it is worse for our pets because they are so much smaller and the amount of sugar hits them harder.
I hope you get through bonfire night safely. I hope Sally Cat doesn't get scared off by the noise.
