Fireworks cause, panic, destruction and death to all suffering with and without pre-existing conditions for the innocent Animals wild and tame, and the people of south africa. Ban this horrible crap fireworks countrywide. That we want to see justice to criminals with long imprisonment and fines they can't afford. This act of barbarian selfishness equals to the same as murder and cruelty to all animals, beloved pets, children, elderly and to every single person who despises fireworks.Lara Strauss (Pretoria, 2024-01-01)

Fireworks are a danger to people and animals. Public does not use it responsibly or respectfully. It burns houses down. And is a complete waste of much needed money that could help feed needy people during the festive times of year, when they are used.Gerhard de Beer (Pretoria, 2024-01-01)

The hurt, the abuse and lost animals during these ridiculous periods of fireworks. Children and elderly with mental problems who dont understand, are alone and scared. This makes me and others beyond furious. This is already illegal, yet our forces are some of the biggest culprits. There should be a total ban and more action taken and law enforcement should be more visible and available.The law should be strickly enforced and hefty fines should apply. We as tax paying citizens and our loves ones, whether human or our petsshould be respected and the law applied. Ban fireworks.

Fireworks terrify our pets and wildlife not to mention old people, disabled people and babies. Also it is a fire hazard. Fireworks should not be imported into the country or banned world wideDiana Els (Pta, 2024-01-01)

All pets are in danger when fireworks are in use. So many pets escape from their houses and end up either stray, lost or dead. Not only dangerous for animals, but for humans too.This is illegal and should never ever be ligalisedVenuscha Van Heerden (Pretoria, 2024-01-01)

For more than 20 years I've been a prisoner in my room, with my tv on its loudest trying to calm my dogs. Bottom line the law has no control over the situation. Shops selling crackers eg in Van der Hoff road, why don't nothing happen to them? They've been selling crackers for many years and still does! Stop the people selling it, then half the problem will be stopped.Linda Muller (Pretoria, 2024-01-01)

Such an unecessary and selfish act. So many animals, birds and people are harmed or negatively affected by this.Why would you condone or partake an any activity you KNOW harms others?
Does not say much for many people’s values, religious and morally. Shameful behaviour.

Animals dont understand. The are protectors an lovers. Close to nature and this human frightning stuff is unknown in the animal world, neither can their super sensitive ears handle the loud noise. It is devastating to see how frightend they are. It is inhuman.Lize Kuhn (Pretoria, 2024-01-01)

I live in a complex which is surrounded by 4 other big complexes/apartment buildings. We live in a crowded block. they always set off fireworks and crackers inside these complexes or out in front of our gate. We have several lapas in this complex and also some of our neighbouring houses has lapas as well. Across the road is a business with a huge field. We are concerned for our safety as they set off these fireworks and crackers in the complexes because the remnants lands on our roofs and we're also afraid our lapas and our neighbours with lapas as well as the field would catch fire.Marissa Swart (Pretoria, 2024-01-01)

The majority of people dislike fire works. Dogs can't stand the loud noise and go into panick mode and upsets the owners aswell. People who dont want to shoot them in their yard ccome and shoot them in the park opposite us. It disturbs the birds nesting and sleeping. A Total ban on sales should be brought in.Caroline Harris (Pretoria, 2024-01-01)

Fireworks are so cruel to animals and even people with hearing conditions and PTSD!!!Johan Fourie (Pretoria, 2024-01-01)
#116
It's a senseless act that causes immense stress for animals wild and tame, some children as well as the elderly that suffer from dimentia. The people spending money on fireworks can rather put all the money together and supply a new years meal for the homeless or donate it to an animal shelter. This evil no-good activity should be banned and perpetrators heavily fined or even jailed.Charlotte Siebert (Pretoria, 2024-01-01)

I'm tired of having to experience the fear and stress my animals go through every time there are fireworks. I'm tired of having to dose my dogs and cats with tranquilizers every time there are fireworks. I'm tired of reading and seeing how many animals are injured or lost because of inconsiderate fools who derive some kind of perverse pleasure out of loud bangs and stinking smoke in the air.MJ Pillemer (Pretoria, 2024-01-01)

I'm sick of seeing my animals in a state of fear and long lasting PTSD every year, even the wild ones especially the wil ones because they can't go into places of safety like homes to find protection. I'm sick of seeing my downs syndrome sister in law being afraid because of the bombs going of around her. I'm sick of running around trying to keep animals safe. But mostly I'm sick of people in this country that think laws is not for them, and get offended when told to stop breaking the law. Fireworks also tend to be the reason why people have trouble feeding their children in January and then all of them becomes the burden of the state.Adri de Lange (Pretoria-north, 2024-01-01)

Fireworks are cruel to animals, it's a pest to people who suffer from epilepsy, and who are sensitive to noisesIf anyone has ever lost a animal due to the fact that they have tried to get a way from the loud noises and got themselves so badly hurt that the veterans could not save them, and had a person get a heart attack and died due the stupid people who wont listen and fire the stuff they will understand, why this ban is so utterly important
