Another way to do it would be to make members of the public apply for a licence each year to buy fireworks for personal use. Make them fill in at least 10 pages of information, take a saftey test with the fire brigade at a big cost (good cause) and pay for the licence every year!!!
Then they could forget the stupid tax on horses!!!
I think I signed something similar before but have signed again. Was out last night and the fireworks were going off everywhere, accompanied by the sound of scared, barking dogs
What really gets my goat is that now they start at Halloween, since when does trick or treating have anything to do with an unsuccesful attempt to blow up the sponging B&^%$£"! in Parliament 100's of years ago!!! And now the season seems to go on to Xmas and the NY!!!
We have a local tack and feed store that stock the b£$%^& things argh!!! It stinks round here atm and you can't see anything what happened to going green to protect the planet!!!!
(THANKS USA for trick or treating BTW, I already pay for their education and healthcare now I have to pay for their sweets as well!)
Now displays don't particularly bother me or any of the animals I have at the moment....BUT I still cannot believe that we are allowed to go and buy explosives!!!
Ban private displays and only have publicly advertised ones is what I say, then we all know when & where they will be let off.
