They're all we pyromaniacs have left.

Re: Fireworks

I saw this on the news tonight, about pet owners trying to only get fireworks sold for organised displays only.

Some twit was saying they make fireworks much quieter than they were 10 years ago. Well he wants to get himself over here tomorrow night then!

There is a huge organised display here every year, and the noise is horrendous for about an hour or more.

Everyone's car is covered in thick grey dust the next morning, there are spent fireworks laying in everyone's gardens and that is as well as the noise.

I admit some of the pretty ones are lovely to see in the night sky, but I do not like the loud bangs at all.

My oldest dog who died a couple of years back, used to really worry me, I thought she would have a heart attack some years. She was terrified and would hide and shake and tremble till it all finished. It was heartbreaking to see.

The younger ones I've got now take it better, as long as I stay with them and turn the telly up louder than I would normally have it.

The birds in the trees that have gone to roost for the night get very startled though. They try to fly off but it is too dark for them to see to settle elsewhere.

So even organised displays cause distress to the animals.

I have signed the petition Puddles.

Re: Fireworks

My cats and my little Westie friend have been scared witless most of this week by idiots who, obviously, have more money than sense. From a noise point of view it has been like living in a war zone.

If fireworks were limited to organised displays - preferably away from houses - we could prepare for it - but these days they set loud bangers off at any old time. The cost of fireworks now is so high it must be just like burning money!

No doubt there will bonfires and fireworks this weekend - then next week it is Diwali, so even more fireworks.

Does no-one care about the animals anymore?

Re: Fireworks

Ours doesn't like them either. If I'm out walking and one goes off he flops to the ground. If I keep going he will follow me but I don't like to make him so we just go back home and he lies quietly under my desk.

He is a rescue so we don't know what happened in the first year of his life before we got him.

Re: Fireworks

Tonight, near to where I live it was continuous for almost 2 hrs of the things going off. Loud banging sky rockets.
I couldn't make out exactly where they came from, but they were definitely behind some houses that back onto fields with horses in.
One old guy was walking his dog when some went off and the dog nearly took him off his feet.

As Mups says, not only, but also the birds and the cats.

Fireworks allowed at any old time is too bad when nobody to prepared.

Thanks for signing.... not that it's my petition, but it all helps the cause.

Re: Fireworks

Done it, just waiting for the email.
I hate that they are on sale to the general public still. Organised firework displays only. I just hope the petition works.

Re: Fireworks

Done of course.
Same here tonight.
I like fireworks, but only when they do them at sea, they do that here in the summer.
