Stupid old tradition and celebrates what exactly, pets hate it, many people do and emergency services and hospitals dread it

I agree with you, fireworks suck!

Hope things get better. Bad times don't last, but good people do and sure you can get through this

Fireworks suggest that people are happy, and when we are having a shit time its easy to hide away and resent them. I'm very introvert and have always avoided getting involved, but tonight I went out and watched the display on the Mersey from my doorstep, it was actually nice at a time that can be very depressing.

I wish they'd ban the sale of fireworks to the general public. It's shit for animals and kids and people. They've been going off all week here. One night it was so bad it was like actual explosions.

I totally agree with this, professional displays for special occasions but anyone being able to buy them is bonkers. In a country with some of the strictest gun control laws, why is it acceptable to buy explosives with your weekly ASDA shop?

Scratch that, she just sauntered in! Phew!! Thats it, all cats and dogs home safe now.

I am not averse to the organised displays, imo the ones at Alton Towers are anazing! The lazer and light show and story and music is always first class xx

Indeed.

Every other situation that involves explosives requires the handler to be properly certified, but apparently Dave the plumber is fine to buy a stack of them.

I will admit I love fireworks and I am very lucky to have a dog that isn't fussed by them at all. But I have friends with pets that really suffer and have also worked with patients who relieve terrible things hearing them - so I understand. Think they have gor unnecessarily loud also.

Sending hugs to anyone who needs them
