Terrifies the life out of poor animals!!!!!

Animals have no voice and we need to stop the carnage

I am signing because I feel that fireworks are not only cruel to animals who are truly terrified by them but also because they are dangerous for children. Parent's allow small children to play with fireworks which often end up in critical injuries.

It's unfair that City Council allows residents, their families, pets and wildlife n residential neighbourhoods to be terrorised by fireworks 11 days of the year while it is illegal on other days

It is completely insensitive to our dogs. Although my dogs are fortunate enough to be inside when those bombs go off it is still very traumatic for them. What about those dogs whose owners do not allow them in or those owners who are the culprits and shoot firework around their pets? I strongly support it being banned completely. There should be not time that it is allowed to be shot.

So many animals are scared and lose their lives because of this idiocy

(Johannesburg, 2017-01-03)

#443

We as humans created dogs to be our companions. We owe them our survival and loyalty. We cannot be so cruel as to carry on with a tradition that scares them to a point where they die.

I support the ban off fireworks due to the effects it has on peoples pets. It is a selfish act of those who does not respect other peoples pleas on behalf of their pets who can not speak for themselfs.

I am tired of my dogs having to suffer every new years, guy fawkes and Diwali because of inconsiderate people who have no care about the animals who are terrorised with these fireworks. And no medication can help. If its illegal it should not be sold at all.

(Brackenhurst, 2017-01-03)

people can't be trusted to not act like fools and hurt animals, other people or themselves.

(Pretoria, 2017-01-03)

#475

Bring back heavy fines and money going towards animal care. It's inhumain against all animals. A land in poverty but money to waste and animals in distress. Hate the damn things!

(Centurion, 2017-01-03)

My son was bitten by a terrified dog due to the fireworks this year. He has needed plastic surgery.
Our dogs were terrified until 4am until the fireworks started to subside. The fireworks continued for two nights after.
This can't continue! IT MUST STOP!

(Roodepoort, 2017-01-03)

#503

I think we ought to have evolved enough as humans to realize that all animals are sentient beings and that the stress caused by fireworks is completely unnecessary and an activity we can live without

(Cape Town, 2017-01-03)

#504

Believe in the cause

(Pretoria, 2017-01-03)

#506

Total ban please. Fireworks are harmful and destructive to the environment, and dangerous to all animals, domestic, farm, and wild, including urban wildlife, plus they affect vulnerable people, small children, the elderly, and those battling with mental disorders. There is nothing positive about fireworks, and they infringe on the rights of too many to be allowed any longer.

(Johannesburg, 2017-01-03)

For my pets. Very traumatic for them

(Benoni, 2017-01-04)

#596

It causes unnecessary noise that is harmful to babies, the elderly people, pets & animals in the wild. They are used irresponsibly & sporadically from 5th November until the red January & not only on one occasion at a specified time. In a socio-eco system where so many people can hardly afford food it is a disgusting waste of money that should be used for feeding families.
