So, here's the deal. If one wants to ban fireworks, I want to ban dogs, unless they are assistance dogs.
You don't half come out with some shit!
Glad to see you're ready for a civilised discussion.
Again you do know that was tongue in cheek.
The point I'm making is that many of us have to listen to dogs barking all year around and yes most of the shit I see outside is from dogs. I and many people put up with dogs, so people should put up with fireworks. It's called tolerance. Fireworks are part of UK and other countries cultures and I don't see why that should be taken away because some pets get stressed.
Every year this discussion comes up.
It's not just SOME dogs and cats that shiver with fear, it's hundreds of thousands
what about wild birds (who by the time fireworks start are trying to go to sleep) and various other wild life?
There's serious talk in NZ about making the sale of fireworks, crackers etc to the general public illegal and only allow council organised displays.
ETA......and lets not forget all the firers/ damages and injuries they cause every year.
Can I ban loud noises which wake me up in the night due to various factors? And should we ban thunderstorms and lightning? Birds and other animals wildlife cope with those I believe.
You sound like a person that says 'let's ban this because I don't like it', whatever it is.
