Safety of the animals surrounding this should be more important than watching some fireworks.Gabbie tutton (Colchester, 2020-10-21)

The location is next door to a kennels and adjacent with fields containing horses, a pregnant mare and a farm with hundreds of animals. There are many wood shelters with hay/ straw and store rooms. It's irresponsible and dangerous.Kristy Sadler (St Osyth, 2020-10-21)

This event needs to stop. The distress it will cause over the 2 days is ridiculous and it is NOT a licensed event!Mandy Sainty (Colchester, 2020-10-21)

I’m signing this as I have 6 horses, adjacent to the Weeley boot sale field, also I have 100 bales of hay stored in a barn as well, the horses will have to be sedated two nights running for this event, which is totally not right, I have children who would love to see the fireworks and I would have to pay as I can see directly from our house/stables. So I really don’t think I am being unreasonable asking for this display to be out elsewhere. For the safety of animals/fires and well beingHayley Taylor

I am signing this petition, as it is an unnecessary event not just because of COVID but there is livestock, including mares in foal, surrounding the whole premises of where this event is going to be held.Livestock lose theirs lives if they go in to shock and sudden bangs or brights lights could cause this being so close.
Ellie May (Essex, 2020-10-21)

As a horse owner myself who knows how traumatic and dangerous fireworks are I cannot believe people would do this! Ban fireworks, stop this event and save the horses and livestock!Lucy Stammers (Chelmsford, 2020-10-21)
#49
I’m signing because this event is due toBe held in a totally inappropriate place, surrounded by horses (some in foal) plus a care farm with many other animals not to mention the housing with cats and dogs, most of which will be extremely distressed and may try to flee causing injury and great distress.
Gill Baker (Great bentley, 2020-10-21)

I’m a direct neighbour with several horses who will not deal well with this!! We’ve had no contact from the organisers. Totally wrong locationLorna Christmas (Tendring., 2020-10-21)

I have horses and understand these concerns and this should be taken seriously!Danielle Haygreen (Essex, 2020-10-21)

The fire work display should not be held in this part or any part of Weeley, we all have horses and livestock near and next to the car boot field. Please relocate the organisers.Nadia Middleton (Weeley, 2020-10-21)

Fireworks are very stressful to all animals.Marnie Goldsmith (Clacton, 2020-10-21)
#58
Because it is right next to a working farm which has older animals & lots of different breeds. It is not a suitable location, please find an appropriate site.Anne Mason (Braintree, 2020-10-21)
#60
I’m signing because I live in the area and this event is shocking so close to live stock.Katya Hanson (Essex, 2020-10-21)
#63
I think the fireworks should be moved to a more suitable area, not with surrounding livestock. As a horse owner myself I’m aware how terrifying fireworks can be for horses, so is very unfair to do it in an area surrounded by them!Maddy Elliott (Weeley Heath, 2020-10-21)

I own horses, dogs and a cat. Who are all scared of the loud bangs. One of my dogs is petrified, my poor cat hides. We also find fireworks that land in my horses field and around the stables.Lea Cordery (Colchester, 2020-10-21)

Fireworks should not be set off around animals. I know there is a lot of livestock local to the location that’s without even mentioning the wildlife it will affect.Eve Peaty (Little Oakley, 2020-10-21)
#91
I feel this event is completely irresponsible, considering it’s location. I am in complete favour of organised displays, but not at the detriment of a rural community and its livestockTamsin Warren (Clacton on Sea, 2020-10-21)

My family have live stock in the adjacent field they run a business young adults with learning disabilities they do animal care & horse therapy for some students this is a live line of activities for them & their family’s they do not need scared or even hurt live stock it could affect so many peopleKate Peryer (Essex, 2020-10-21)
#104
This is too close to local livestock owners, businesses with animals and would cause great distress to not only rural but domestic animals. No thought has been put into the location of this eventAnn Fairbanks (CLACTON-ON-SEA, 2020-10-21)

This is not the right location to hold this with all the horses and livestock aroundNatalie Stallwood (Tuddenham, 2020-10-21)
#112
It is awful that this is being considered to be held right in top of helpless animals that will not understand and be terrified, they have no voice we are their voice.A Fuller (Colchester, 2020-10-21)
#115
I'm signing this because too many horses are getting killed and dogs too, animals gets scared and stress which can kill them!!Mandy Stant (Essex, 2020-10-21)
#116
My daughter goes to the centre next door and would be heartbroken to arrive and find some of the animals dead through shock.Sharon Spelman (Canvey, 2020-10-21)
#117
this should not be taking place anywhere near animals. I had a dog who was frightened of fireworks and he went through hell every year. Ban the blasted things for goodHeather Hummel (Weeley, 2020-10-21)
#119
There have been so many poor animals lost due to stress heart attacks freak out from unesercery firework shows legal and illegal ones I have many animals myself which not only are my world but also are alot of money to look after and I don't want to spend thousands of pounds on vet care for my horse if it gets hurt or for a vet and one of my dogs suffer from extreme post traumatic stress from past abuse from racing so she has to be prescribed medication to sedate her for the 5th of November but these random firework shows we can't do that so she suffers almost having a heart attack it's not needed to have fireworks shows there are so many new ways to celebrate things rather than using explosivesMaisey Lindsey (Colchester, 2020-10-21)

I don’t agree with firework displays near livestock, it is extremely cruel to subject these animals to loud noises which they don’t understand. This can cause the animal great distress and harm.Noele Wright (Essex, 2020-10-21)
#127
A rural location next to livestock is not an appropriate place for a firework display. It will cause undue stress and suffering to horses and livestock in the surrounding fields, which is in contravention of the Animal Welfare Act 2006.Lorraine Thornton (Ardleigh, 2020-10-21)
#129
Livestock surround the venue, this is cruel and inhumanKIM Sutton (Chelmsford, 2020-10-21)

Too many animals are scared or die. They never gave a choiceMichelle Frensham (Colchester, 2020-10-21)
#134
Im signing because I have horses local and do not think this a good idea due to them potentially being very scared and cause dangerCharlotte Lines (Clacton, 2020-10-21)
#141
Our horse and many others on our site are very close to this event and the trauma caused by this noise is potentially life threatening to them causing colic , which will bring heartbreak to many ,also consider other local cats dogs etc , this event should not be allowedAndrew Robinson (Frinton, 2020-10-21)
#142
Fireworks are too noisy and scary for animals.Dawn Sharples (Clacton-on-Sea, 2020-10-21)
#145
Having owned dogs that where terrified of fireworks .an event surrounded by horses , some in foal and other livestock is utterly cruel and will undoubtedly end up with loss of life and/or pregnancies . In a county as big as Essex there is most definitely be a more suitable field to use . Despite sad times we as humans still don’t have more rights for fun over animals feeling terrified . There lives matter as much as our own . I plead with you to cancel this event and find a suitable field else whereJackie Welsh (Dovercourt, 2020-10-21)

Its totally in an unsuitable area, with many horses and livestock very nearDawn kidd (Harwich, 2020-10-21)

Hawk Farm which is next door to this site help many people with special needs and have many animals which will be scared by fireworks so close to the farmJerry Furner (Braintree, 2020-10-21)
#156
I live in weeley on the Colchester road, I do have pets which find this time if year bad enough, I feel this taking place especially right next to the boarding kennels will cause a serious amount of stress and is extreamly cruel to the animals and will cause financial implications for ownersSam Allen (Weeley, 2020-10-21)

I have live stock very near this site and my horse who has serve metal out brakes will be affected by this and also very afraidMarina Cranston (Essex, 2020-10-21)

The location for this display is completely inappropriate due to nearby livestock and wildlife.Bernadette Rose (Weeley Heath, 2020-10-21)

This is ridiculous and should not be allowed to happen. Too near livestock and horses. It should not be encouraged especially as it will bring out crowds of people during a pandemicLouise Totham (Clacton-on-sea, 2020-10-21)

Gathering together to watch fireworks during this awful Covid time, is a stupid idea. It is also a totally unnecessary cause of so much anguish to animals, the elderly and the very young who endure it every year.Tammy Tucker (Clacton, 2020-10-21)

I am aware of the anxiety and stress fireworks cause animals and their ownersKellie Knight (Ipswich, 2020-10-21)
