I absolutely 100 % agree with you and I say this every year. Organised displays only should be licenced to buy fireworks. It is pure madness to sell these things to the general public.

I agree that there should only be organised and well controlled firework displays. The minority of cruel and stupid people, as always, spoil it for the rest of the population but life - human and animal - is precious and should not be made vulnerable to the dangers of these fireworks. Certainly ban them being sold to the general public.

I think fireworks should be sold to the public, but only to adults. It should be the parents responsibility to keep them away from their children. I live in a state where fireworks are illegal and I don't see why everyone should be punished for a few bad apples. The people who use them to hurt animals should be prosecuted; however, people also use guns to hurt animals and the feds let you own guns if you have licenses.

Yes apart from organised displays.
Allowing people to buy fireworks is not a lot different from allowing them to possess pertol bombs or the like it is gunpowder after all.
Too many thugs cause trouble with fireworks at this time of year, especially as you say cruelty to animals and I firmly believe they should not be made publicly available.

A petition, organised by the RSPCA became exceeded in to #10 approximately 3 years in the past. lots of of animal fans with their dogs took a boat with large anti-firework banners on the facets, up the Thames, to Westminster the place we exceeded in a large petition to the PM. This led to small differences in the regulation ie. fireworks for the final public could be no louder than 120decibels, (some automobile door slamming). regrettably a loophole has known in that contributors of the universal public could purchase reveal style fireworks that are no longer coated by this regulation. i got here across the burnt out shell of 1 of those on the factor of my abode and regarded it up on the cyber web. it quite is description says all of it, "35 shot noisemaker which places even a militia shell to shame". Then there is the 'firework season'. "From January 1st 2005. except a particular licence has been granted (*) by the community authority advertising classes for outlets would be constrained as follows: October fifteenth - December 10th inc, December twenty 6th - December thirty first, 7 days formerly Diwali, 7 days formerly chinese language New year" Why does it may be see you later? Our animals could desire to extraordinarily much cope with a pair of wierd nights of fireworks yet we've had them each night on condition that early October, different than final night while it became too moist and windy. you are able to desire to do as I did and write on your MP. Get your individuals to jot down, your neighbours, each physique you are able to think of of. it is taken into consideration one of my puppy, (excuse the pun) hates and that i'm continually badgering officers approximately it when I get the prospect.

Well, that is what I think as well. Accidents happen with this as well. My dog definitely does not feel good when she has to listen to the fireworks. I personally do not see anything in this way of fun. If it was up to me, I'd ban them. But many like them I guess, so the story goes on.

I believe that fireworks should only be used by people who have had the proper training in health & safety and risk analysis. I believe that they should only be used when there is a first aider around. Public displays only.

No, I love fireworks. Almost anything can be abused by the nasty-minded, and simply depriving everyone of access to something because potentially some rat-bag might utilise it for wrong is not an acceptable solution. It's a post-hoc solution that penalises everyone without addressing underpinning cause.

I think the real problem is that theres a whole section of the public with complete immunity to being held to account, namely the under 16's.
Possibly a total ban would be good I mean where else can you get something to wake your entire town at 4am.

No. We will be having fireworks at our Halloween party. Evil people do evil things I seriously doubt banning fireworks would stop them from finding something else cruel to do.
