7,000 Explosions

That's how many BOOMS we'll have to listen to in Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo on the night of New Year's Eve.

In Zihuatanejo the fireworks will be set up at the Cancha Municipal right in front of the Sociedad Protectora de Animales, with absolutely no regard for the poor animals housed there (or any other animals within a 2 mile radius).

In Ixtapa the fireworks will be set up right in front of the so-called Delfinarium, as if the poor enslaved dolphins didn't already suffer enough.

This is a "gift" that cost 3 million pesos from the state's tourism director who, while he sucks at attracting tourists, is well practiced at spending the public's money on whimsical stupidities! As we all know, he likes a big party.

Almost all the comments by locals that I've seen and heard on this have been negative and in agreement with my own point of view. #PobrePueblo
