Fireworks

Time to ban them

If you mean sales to the public fair enough I agree. If you mean ban fireworks then that's nonsense.

I think it’s time for a ban on sales to the public and organised displays only.

Just require a license, make the license dependent on a theory test like driving licenses. Maybe limit their use in dense neighbourhoods.

I don’t think fireworks are dangerous enough to the general public or cause enough environmental damage to warrant a complete public ban, if someone wants to let some off in a field and they’ve shown enough competence to be trusted, let them.

I agree with that.I don't actually know where I could buy fireworks to be honest, used to see them in newsagents, supermarkets garden centres, last year or so non of those places where I live sell them.

Then it's nonsense. They serve no purpose whatsoever and cause so much unnecessary suffering to many particularly animals

Organised displays don't cause much suffering at all, and if they are organised people with animals know they are happening and take measures (many people with animals don't seem to have any problem).There was one in my town last night,haven't heard any animal owners complain,only complaints were over parking issues.Thousands enjoy a firework display.
I have no issue with them being limited to organised advertised displays and banning sales to the public.

One of our cats doesn’t mind as he’s a little bugger, the other one who is twice as big is shit scared and hid for most of yesterday as they started going off about 4.30pm. I locked the cat flap and they couldn’t understand what was going on. It carried on till past midnight, wankers
