Fireworks are completely unacceptable have have caused many deaths to innocent animals. Not to mention how the older people get frights and babies. They are mused and abused and should be banned

#466

In our area, at least 5 dogs and 2 cays went missing over new year's "celebrations". We have 2 jack russels who are also terrified of fireworks; thankfully we are at home when fireworks are expected. No dog, cat or any other animal should be subjected to such terror and panic!

(Johannesburg, 2017-01-04)

I believe fireworks need to be made illegal as people are irresponsible!

(Johannesburg, 2017-01-04)

1. Animals that get maimed and killed because of them being scared or abused (tying crackers to their tails)
2. Fire hazard - thatch roofs/grasslands
3. Irresponsible people who set off fireworks without necessary care, causing great physical harm to others

(Pretoria, 2017-01-04)

#474

Loud fireworks destroy!

(Scottburgh, 2017-01-04)

#475

I can't stand to see another helpless manimal either hurt itself, or be hurt by people who use fireworks. I also love to see fire works as they are beautiful, however NO life is worth losing over it.

(East London, 2017-01-04)

#476

It is totally unacceptable .. why should we and every single frightened animal listen to these loud bangs and crazy noise. Waste of money and many animals are injured

(Durban, 2017-01-04)

I hate what fireworks do to all animals

(Durban, 2017-01-04)

#482

I love animals & the stress, injury & deaths are too awful. I have posted many lost dogs on groups after fireworks. I have seen animals who have impaled themselves trying to flee & have serious injuries or died. There are those who harm & maime animals using fireworks!! THEY MUST BE BANNED AND A DATA BASE OF OFFENDERS TO ENSURE STRICTER CONTROL OF OFFFENDERS.

(Johannesburg, 2017-01-04)

#483

Its just wrong and destroying animals what is so nice about a firework. They even destroy children

(middelburg, 2017-01-04)

#484

I spent New Years Eve looking for distressed animals an the look of utter terror in their eyes was heart breaking. We need to remember that their hearing is so much more sensitive than a human's. We need to speak for those that can't speak for thrmselves

(Durban, 2017-01-04)

#485

(Johannesburg, 2017-01-04)

Fireworks are devastating for animals, especially in areas bordering on conservancies (such as ours). They should be banned or only permitted under very strict conditions

My children (1 and 2 years old) and dogs were petrified. Even though i had dogs in the house, one still got injured trying to escape the noise.

(Gillitts durban, 2017-01-04)

#505

I hate what it does to animals that can't talk for themselves

(Durban, 2017-01-04)

Fireworks do more damage than good. Animals are petrified, sometimes hurt or killed and sometimes irresponsible parents let children shoot crackers and they to are badly injured.

Big Bangs are not necessary for celebrations. Pretty colourful silent fireworks are permissable.

(Durban, 2017-01-04)

#513

I witnessed a dog being impaled on New Years Eve because he was so frightened from the fireworks. I will not stand by and tolerate the abuse and selfish acts of others

(strubensvalley, roodepoort, 2017-01-04)

#516

I am very much against fireworks. It upsets animals, causes them to fear and so many dogs go missing every year and get hurt and die. It also hurts wild animals as birds become afraid and fly away from their nests amd their young. It is wrong and should be banned. It hurts the animal too much

(Pretoria, 2017-01-04)

#522

Had enough of seing animals hurt !!!!!!

(Saldanha, Western Province, 2017-01-04)

#523

People do not use common sense when lighting fireworks and there is absolutely no consideration for the elderly, those who are suffering in hospitals or in their homes, small children and babies who are awakened by the horrendous bangs and animals whose hearing is much more sensitive to these explosions

(Durban, 2017-01-04)

#525

I see the devastation on pets either injured or dead trying to escape and the hundreds of lost animals at shelters many not collected. There is also a huge impact on our wildlife but we don't see that impact as much as we do pets.

(Durban, 2017-01-04)
