Don't agree with the terrorizing domestic animals with fireworks, they should be enjoyed but set up by professionals and away from residential areas...

Fireworks are evil. It is harmful to the environment, animals and people. If it is not stopped people are going to take the law into there own hands and it would be ugly. There are Not enough policing iro fireworks and something should be done about it.

Fireworks wastes money we can use for far better things, it pleases only a few usually drunk people and it is rejected by the majority of people in residential areas.

There needs to be total ban on fireworks including crackers because the restrictions in place are not being adhered. There should be no fireworks available in this country.
There are many people for whom it is a real problem, sick, elderly, babies, people working shifts who need to sleep etc. Our animals can't speak for themselves even though my little dog is sitting on my lap shaking at 4:30pm today 1 jan because there are still loud bangs now. My big dog only stopped hyperventilating, because he was petrified once the first firework went off at 6pm last night, at lunchtime today when he finally stopped shaking. I have to increase the dose of calming meds tonight which is a risk to the dog's health. I am sure that we will have a repeat of last night again tonight. I'm lucky to have all my dogs at home, there was a lost dog running around on our street last night; a catastrophe.

I am disgusted with the total disregard of humans against animals. I patrolled our area and the animals was in such a state with the loud explotions. What about owls and other bird life. I have a staffie after giving rescue who had a panic attack. Shaking, palpitations and struggeling to breath. The photos on Facebook is terrible. These acts should be banned for the sack of all animals.
