No, you are not a "hypocrite", you are just an animal lover.

How do you know that the fireworks cause animals pain? Yes, the noise is very loud, which is what the animals are reacting to, but does it cause them actual pain? Some animals don't react towards them, while others bark or run away. Again, I think this is more due to the loudness than anything else.
No, you're not a hypocrite, just a sensitive person. Don't beat yourself up about it.

fireworks hurt animals?
No you're not a hypocrite for enjoying them, they are very pretty. I hate them for the amount of wasted money the government spends on them, but i still think they're pretty

You are not a hypocrite, just overly sensitive. Think about it this way. A good thunderstorm is completely natural, and is louder and longer than any fireworks show.

I know what you're talking about. I feel the same way. I did a horrible thing once- I made the mistake of taking my dog to a 4th of July celebration! I'll never do that again.

then why do we have fireworks if they cause pain to animals?

They don't cause pain to animals, just a fear reaction - just like lightning. It's instinct to react to loud sudden noises with fear, so don't confuse pain with fear.

You attach fireworks to animals ? And then ignite them ?
