Article Synopsis
- Firework aversion is common in cats and dogs, leading to behaviors like hiding, fleeing, and social withdrawal, which can negatively impact animal welfare.
- * Our research in The Netherlands involved 3,009 dogs and 622 cats, examining their firework-related behaviors, early life factors, and owners' beliefs about how they influence their pets' reactions.
- * We confirmed that poor early life experiences increase the likelihood of firework aversion in dogs, and found that most pet owners hear fireworks regularly throughout the year, yet many interventions for this aversion are reported to have little lasting effect.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many advocacy groups and individuals criticized governments on social media for doing either too much or too little to mitigate the pandemic. In this article, we review advocacy for COVID-19 elimination or "zero-covid" on the social media platform X (Twitter). We present a thematic analysis of tweets by 20 influential co-signatories of the World Health Network letter on ten themes, covering six topics of science and mitigation (zero-covid, epidemiological data on variants, long-term post-acute sequelae (Long COVID), vaccines, schools and children, views on monkeypox/Mpox) and four advocacy methods (personal advice and promoting remedies, use of anecdotes, criticism of other scientists, and of authorities).
