No fireworks please!!!!

Do you think it fair that people without dogs have to put up with the constant yapping all year round

Some breeds are prone to alert barking, but usually it's caused by poor owners. Owners who let their dogs into the garden and leave them there for ages.

around my way it's the constant use of DIY equipment....chainsaws, mowers, strikers etc that create most noise pollution during the summer months.

You are a moany old so and so aren't you?

I hate to say it but you never never seem cheerful, maybe it's just the way you write posts.....

Fireworks are allowed to be purposed on Bonfire night, Diwali, Chinese New Year and New Years Eve and there are cut-off times.

https://www.gov.uk/fireworks-the-law

As per your link, fireworks can be purchased by over 18's and set off any time of the year between 7pm and 11 pm. The exceptions to this are on the festival's you have mentioned, which have extended times.

I never knew there was a time limit.

While that may be so, the thread is about pets being disturbed by fireworks.
Around here, fireworks go on for an hour or two after dark, intermittently, on a few nights for no more than a couple of weeks.


Ellal is making the fair point that some of us have to put up with dogs (barking, shoite, discarded shoite bags, running amok of leads in parks etc) all year around.
While crappy owners might be the root cause, it doesn't change the fact that the noise / shoite / nuisance still exists.

Most modern fireworks available to buy are some form of rocket.

When I was young and we had family fireworks in the garden they were nearly all Roman candle type things - I prefer the ones on the ground really.

Apart from the Catherine wheels that always got stuck

There is, but if you want fireworks on your birthday, then fill your boots, no law against it as long as they're set off between 7pm and 11pm. (not that those times are enforced)

For a long as I can remember (mid seventies) we bought rockets for family bonfire nights.

Oh well. I read it as only on those occasions and during those times, but if I’ve read it wrong I stand corrected. Yesterday I had a near miss by one in the street as I was taking the dog out, a moment earlier and i’d have been at the hospital and her at the vets.

Wow never thought a post about fireworks would end up with the lefties of the site turning on each other.....

We purposely didn't do fireworks this year as there are horses in the field at the back of my garden.

Well I've no doubt there are irresponsible, inconsiderate firework users, but then the same could be said of drivers.

We don't do them either as 1) There's just the 2 of us 2) The firework world championships are held around here every year (except this one) 3) we have 4 telephone wires crossing the back garden. If we had a suitable garden though I'd be the first to have a big bonfire and plenty of fireworks. It's just a few nights, I wonder if all these pets owners shake their fists at thunder too, maybe that should be banned.

Oh dear, it’s turning political.

Well I love Bonfire night as I love Christmas and Easter and all the other celebratory times of year but I don’t want to celebrate Easter in July nor Christmas in March, so I’ve signed the petition to ban fireworks for general sale to the public. Most people are responsible and respectful... it’s the few that spoil it for everyone else.
