Default How do you feel about fireworks?

Do you love them and see no harm? Think there should be official organised displays only?

Or would you like to see a complete blanket ban, and have it outlawed?

Thoughts

That's my main beef with them. Some people are just ridiculous with it, like Black Dagger said.

Poor animals.

The issue is in some areas you have Halloween, Diwali and Bonfire night all within weeks of each other and people set them off for all these occasions so it feels like they go on for a month, that said its not as bad where we live now will see if it is the same this year

Also I have no idea how people afford them to set them off at home, they are so expensive and like bombs going off at times

Organised events only. Or only allow the quiet fountain type fireworks instead of the loud rockets.

They could do with being a bit less noisy but I like them.

Organised events only, though.

I like fireworks. I don't like that Average Joe can pop to Asda and buy explosives. So... yes, organised displays pls.

In America, even if you ban the sale of them completely, people will still go outside and shoot up into the air to celebrate national holidays. So it's actually better they allow the use of fireworks here when possible, but they are banned within the city where we are (where density is more of an issue), but legal out in the county side of the city or in the rural areas where there is far more space.

I could never fully enjoy the holidays fully because of our pets. That said, mine got older and were more accustomed to it. Partially because for years we had neighbors that celebrated at random throughout the entire effin' week. What was infuriating is when they would do it midday and I'd have to rush outside to calm a panic'ed pup. My neighbor did it out back one year, set off a whole bag of firecrackers it seemed all at once and I nearly jumped the fence only to catch them running away into their home (a grown adult...).

That never used to be a problem at all but started to become more-so in recent years as policing public nuisance activities became less and less as it was becoming too hard to catch. I think inflation hit hard enough though that people stopped being so wasteful with both their ammunition and proper fireworks ($$$)... so that doesn't hardly happen now and thankfully restricted to a few hours at night now. Because in the Central Time zone some people feel inclined on New Years for instance to celebrate both the changeover in NY and in TX

Can't stand them.
Both the Staffies I have had were petrified once they started going off.
The one I have now, it's an operation almost to calm him down.
Thankfully he'd never be on his own as they were being set off.

It's not just guy Fawkes night they go off either.
It's sometimes weeks and certainly days before and after.

Then at Christmas and New year too.
As well as other festivals.
There should be set dates only and only organised displays in my view.
Because some of them are like bombs going off.

My doggo hates them. Organised events only.

BUT these should be inclusive of things like Diwali and Chinese New Year, not just Guy Fawkes and New Year.

I've never been a big fan of the organised events. Fireworks aren't a big draw for me.

Where I live they go off crazy at midnight. It's like a war zone.
