Ban Fireworks

[Misawa]

I'm not one of those extremist animal campaigners or anything of the sort, but fireworks do nothing but terrify most animals. My 10-year-old dogs are on the verge of heart attacks because of them right now and now my touchpad is dead thanks to one of them jumping up at me, spilling hot coffee over myself and computer. Fireworks need to be banned. They're not worth the five minutes of "fun".

with my dog we just ignore them and stuff and now she ignores them too

I dont see why they should be banned, they're nice to have and its not like they're everyday. They're 1 night a year and maybe some other special occasions. Get over it.

And if you know your dogs go nuts then tie them up somewhere and try and calm them down with..... toys or whatever

[Stephen]

1 night a year? dunno about you but here we get them non-stop until after new year

[Moh]

Yeah, they're starting to annoy me. On bonfire night and new years I don't mind. But when they do them all week it starts to get annoying. My rooms pretty hot now and I'v got a window open and I can hear fireworks every 3 seconds.

i don't mind official displays that towns/cities do, it's quite a nice event for the family tbh
but when people do it themselves with cheap ass **** it's ridiculous. people were doing it at the park next to mine last night and a rocket landed in our garden :/

last time we did fireworks we set out neighbours garden on fire, we never got caught either.

Banned on nights which aren't bonfire or new years I say, I completely agree with you, and my dad has to go to bed earlyish some days because of work and when a firework goes off at 10:30, my dogs go mental and wake my dad up. He gets up at like half 4-5am.

my cat hates them and always hides, it's a shame and all that but as long as she's not outside i know she's not in any danger and it's only around this time of year which is a relatively small amount of time

Agreed. I'm surprised there isn't already a ban on it, given the rather "nanny-state" tendancy of this country.
My cat Thomas spent all last night curled up next to me in the armchair, scared... and tonight he's down the side of the sofa, scared.
