If July 4th means anything to you, it’s probably the deep respect it inspires in you for this great nation FIREWORKS!

Fireworks not only look fantastic, they also make a boatload of noise, which is great fun except for animals who don’t know what they are, according to some annoying do-gooders.

But this raccoon say bring ‘em on because he has no fear of them, which he insists is not because he has rabies, though for the record he does wish to point out that he is positively overflowing with rabies.

When asked to describe what the first experience of fireworks was like, the possibly psychotic raccoon with no sense of personal endangerment put it this way:

“Imagine you lived your whole life living off trash day in a peaceful South Hills suburb and then you are abruptly dropped into a Syrian warzone. Talk about a rush!”
