| Re: Bonfire Night
Glad I'm not the only one who hates fireworks and the disturbance caused to wildlife/pets. They are getting ridiculously loud these days and go on throughout the year. I've complained several times to the Council regarding fireworks during the breeding season especially and when the universities break up June/July.
The laws now confining them to be used before 11.00pm and 12.00 on the 5/11 has made a difference as had the price of them. There was notably less this year than previous years.
Agree wholeheartedly with Sarah, they should be banned for private use but then we'd probably be accused of being joy killers!
My sister's pet cat that they'd had for 8 years, got out the cat flap one 5th November and was never seen again. My own dog bolted onto to a main road one time when some kids let off firecrackers in one of the large urban parks one summer and she narrowly missed the front wheels of a double decker bus which nearly caused an accident. |
