Bl**dy Fireworks

[Ferdinase514]

Am sick of them already. They started today before it was even dark..what is the point.

My dog's a cowering werck and Finni is turbo box walking. Ugh. Next week can only get worse.

My dogs the same asbsolutely petrified of them. I think fireworks should be banned as they scare animals and damage the environment

They started last week for us. Got back from doing horse about 7.30pm and was just going in front door, when some prat let off a firework on the front lawn of the church opposite. Put dog in and went to go over to move youths (as I thought) on, as lawn is within 5m of a public pavement, so not a safe place to be letting fireworks off - IMO. It was the bloody vicar letting off the fireworks - Give me strenght!!!!

I hate them!!! Two weeks before bonfire night and then up until New Year - what a waste of money if nothing else !!?!?!

I've just been to my sisters for Mums birthday tea, and they had fireworks to let off tonight

They live in the countryside and have two dogs who are terrified - I really don't get it! I left before they let them off - made my excuses that I had to put horsie to bed.

Fotunately my dog is ok with them - but I do think that fireworks should not go on sale to the public - and that they should only be big events, therefore minimising injury to humans and allowing animals owners notice so that they can do whatever is nec. to keep the animals calm.
However I am always shocked at some of the large events - Kingston Maurward College always have a huge event - 5 mins walk from the stables!!!!! Unreal !!!! Also Canford Park arena in Poole last night held the 2cr fm Big Bang - again a 5 min walk from a livery yard - and god knows how many other horses in the nearby vecinity!! Shocking I think!

I think it is awful too. Kingston Maurward sedate most of their horses as a precaution!! They have displays through the summer too. Cant do the horses much good to be sedated too often!!

IMO agricultural colleges with a large number of horses, farm animals and small animals SHOULDNT DO IT!!! I have to admit that I dont know any others who do - maybe KMC are just a money grabbing bunch?????????????????

We always used to find spent rockets in our field as it was surrounded by houses. Now the horses are kept out of the village its much better. IMO fireworks should only be sold to organised groups and only allowed on the 5th, not 2 weeks before AND 2 weeks after

dont think theyve been as bad this year i am lucky as my horse doesnt bother while shes in her stable but she freaks when im out riding and they go off. the very first time i came off her i was hacking out and a firework went off, in the middle of the day whats the point in that! and she took off up the road bucking! that was 8 yrs ago now lol shes a bit better but this time of the years can be a real pain!
